I can't imagine ever having to live without Google. Think about how many times a day you hear, " I don't know, Google it." It has everything and is a serious life saver. Not to mention every email account I have is attached to this server so I'd be lost without it!
Slate.com is my go-to, can't-live-without website. It's my source for all sorts of news. I thrive on knowing what's going on in the world and I would be lost without it.
Like Julia, Google is the website I immediately thought of. I use Google multiple times every single day and all of my email accounts are through it so I could not live without it. You can find anything on there!
Google. I use Google to locate new websites, to find websites I've forgotten, my email, my blogs, connecting with family, and even my phone is run on Google! I simply couldn't do without it.
I would hat to live without Google. Google is ingrained in my life. Google puts everything in one place for me. Google powers my navigation, my email, my phone, my apps, my internet browser not to mention my search engine. I expect it to power a lot of my teaching and technology integration in my future career as well. If you need to know something you "google it". Wouldn't want to live without it.
I used to feel like I couldn't live without Facebook, because it kept me in touch with people from high school and community college, but recently I deleted my account without having any withdrawals! My most used/needed website or internet application would be Google. It's built into my phone, my laptop; its connected to my education, my friends and family. Google tells me where to go (maps), it backs up my photos! It's almost alarming how much Google has become part of my life.
My first thought after reading this question was Google.com, but after reading that pretty much everyone else's response was Google as well, I decided to sit back for a moment and think what else I would hate to live without. The answer I came to was my bank websites. I use these to access my account information, such as transactions and balances and statements. If for some reason I don't have access to my bank accounts online, I usually am pretty paranoid that something has gone wrong: someone over charged me or someone got a hold of my card or account numbers and are making unauthorized charges on my account. I live pay check to pay check and budget everything perfectly. There is no room for any errors within my bank accounts. Therefore, this is why I would hate to not have daily access to my online bank account information.
Google/Google Scholar. With these sites I can look at my emails to stay in the loop as far as paying bills sending paperless digital emails for private/photos and business related matters, networking, listening to music, videos and the like within seconds.
I would probably have a melt down if Yahoo ever stopped working. Yahoo is my tool for searching, email, and other random news.
ReplyDeleteYouTube! It teaches me anything random that I want to know, provides me with endless entertainment, and has music!
