When you are in USA after a little while, you can feel that the Internet has deep impact on people's daily life. It exists every where in the society. Banks, shopping centers, supermarkets, chain stores all have their own web sites. They not only provide you much information, but also support transactions online.
I have a checking account and a saving account of Fleet Bank, a big bank in the eastern coastal region. Its branches distribute from Maine to Florida, but it has no branch in Denver. It doesn't matter for me. I can visit the homepage of Fleet Bank. I can check my balance, pay bills, make transfers, and check every transactions of my account. If you want to buy stuff, but are too lazy to go to shopping centers or supermarkets, that's OK! You can shop online! Just find what you need then give them your credit card number and your address, you can receive your favorites home. Of course you have to pay for the shipping cost.
Now I have had experience of shopping online! I wanted a computer notebook for a long time. I visited www.ebay.com and found that there are so many secondhand laptops! But I am not a member of the eBay community, so I can't bid. I hesitated for a week; then I decided to join. I provided all the information it needed, including my Visa card number. I thought everyone could obey the game rules, though I was a little naive and my own wishful thinking. The next thing is my first bid! What to bid then? I started to browse the profiles of all kinds of notebooks. They all look pretty good for me! I was told that if I want something indeed, I'd better bid in the last minute. But for the first-time bid, I just want to experience the feeling of bidding online! That's it! A Compaq Armada Pentium II 200Mhz, 700', one more day before the deadline. I believe someone can outbid me finally, even though I bid it without serious aptitude. The minimum bid is 710', I bid but soon I was told that someone had quoted the price; then I tried 720', the same thing happened! I got angry and emotional, 730', 740', 750', 760', I got it! It was exciting but I felt it was an unwise decision. Then the following days, I refreshed that page again and again. I hoped to see that some aggressive bidder beat me. But I was disappointed even a whole day had gone! The next day morning, the first thing after I came into my office is to refresh that page: I was relieved that someone beat me with 770'!
From then on, I told myself to be a serious bidder. I soon found my quarry - a Fujitsu Lifebook C340, PII 233MHz, 92M, 3.2G, two years old. The owner quoted 600', but no one bid when the auction is coming to an end (still three hours). I decided to stay in office to compete the auction. After off duty, I had two pieces of bread to satisfy my stomach, then I was surfing and refreshing the page on the other side. When the auction was two minutes left, I started to refresh that page continuously. No one made a bid in the three hours. Suddenly, my annoying Mac was down! If I restart it, I'd miss the auction! I had an idea in the emergency. I switched on the screen of the Dr. Zhang's PC (in NREL, the computers never shut down), logged in ebay as fast as I can, found that page and placed my bid: 610' (step: 10'), but I was informed that I was outbid by 615'! I have no choice, 625', I got it before twenty seconds at the end of the auction! It was exciting and breathtaking!
It's my first experience of shopping online. Later on, I bought phonecards, books and some other stuff. It is very safe, fast and convenient!
