Persuasive Essay
Internet VS. TV
We all like to watch our favorite episodes on the TV. The other place we do that is on the computer, the internet. But why would you pay for both? That is where you must think. You would like something that you can watch your shows, do homework, find info, and multi task. Stop paying for cable/dish and get into the internet! With the internet you will be able to do all of the above features, and many more things! There is just one draw back to the internet; the speed will vary depending on your connection. Oh and there might be a couple of killer robots here and there. Other wise than that, I advise others to switch from cable/dish, to the internet.
First of all, the internet is cheaper than cable/dish. Sometimes they both cost the same, but usually internet cost cheaper than cable/dish. Another good thing is that there are no extras you have to buy. Sometimes for cable/dish you have to buy cables, installation, “boxes”, etc. And in 2009 February, you won’t have to switch your internet. Only if you don’t have some type of cable. Therefore, internet is a lot cheaper than cable/dish in some cases.
Another good thing about the internet is being mobile. The internet can connect computer networks around world, stated in the Webster’s Collegiate dictionary on page 654. So you can stay connected with others anywhere in the world. And you won’t miss your favorite episode. Or if you really love a show, song, picture, etc, than you can download it into your computer, phone, iPod, etc. therefore, those are some good examples on what you can do when you have the internet on the go.
The third reason why the internet is way better than cable/dish is for all the things we can learn/do from it all at once. We can do our homework, sell our stuff, buy stuff, download music and movies, look up information, and of course watch shows on it. You also have control on things. For example you can pause your show if you need to go and take care of something real quick. Or you can bookmark (add to favorites) different places where you can watch different shows on, and switch real quickly to each one. And forget about waiting for your TV guide or buying one, you can go online and search when cretin shows will be on, what day and time, or you can even look up information about a show. Oh and another good thing about internet is that if you have a laptop, and the lights go out, you can still get online. Therefore, you can learn and do things threw the internet and watch your shows, all at the same time.
Now, I know that we all fear that someday, there will be superior robot species (Head page33). But for now try to enjoy the internet. And don’t get worried about killer robots, they wont come out until years later, at least that’s what we all think.
So why pay more for cable/dish, when you can have the internet and be able to multi task all at once. As you can see and tell the internet is cheaper, on the go, and multi task able. Just forget about the killer robots taking over the world, someday, for know, relax, and enjoy the wonders of the internet. The only other problem you might have is the speed of the internet you decide to get, but nothing that bad. Now think about it. What is better? What would you rather have, TV or internet? What helps you out more? And if you give the internet a try and find that you don’t like it, than by all means feel free to go back to cable/dish, and start thinking about the killer robots that will enslave all of humanity someday. And if you find that you so like the internet, than go crazy (not literally) and have fun with it. I believe it is better to have internet than cable/dish anytime, besides the killer robot part.

A dog's day out

A Dog’s day out
Christmas was a fun day for me and my family. The day before Christmas was really busy for me. I had many things to do that day. But I focused on one thing, gift shopping. And not just
for anyone, but for the most commonly forgotten ones, the dogs.
In many households, dogs are just that, dogs. But in some households, like mine, they aren’t just dogs; they are part of the family. So I like taking my two dogs out “shopping”. Now I know you are thinking right now that I’m weird and strange, for loving my dogs. I like to pay them back for all the fun times we have together. But I love my dogs for many reasons, especially my poodle, which has saved my life many times before. So I think I need to pay my dogs back for all that cool adventures we have had.
The morning before Christmas day, I got my dogs ready for a day out. I groomed them, put their sweaters on, got their leashes and off we went. We hit the two big main stores, Petco and Petsmart. We stopped at Petsmart first. There we stocked up on treats and toys. Then we headed off to Petco. At Petco we stocked up on grooming supplies, cleaning supplies, and more treats. I spent a little over $230 dollars that day. And my dogs loved all the extra attention they got from people at each store. With the “how cute they are” “so sweet and well trained they are” complements from all the people at each store. So that made my dogs day, oh and with all the little kids getting to pet them. At the end we went back home, my dogs ate and went to bed, tired and sleepy.
Although, Many people just see dogs as dogs, I don’t. I see them as really good friends. And ad you can tell I love my dogs, and they return the favor by being there for me. And I will always remember the day they got to go shopping. With their curious minds, noses to the ground, tails wagging, cuddly bodies, and their cuteness all over the place. Sending smiles on peoples faces, turning that bad day into a warm and happy day for someone. What a fun day that was for all of us, and I’m sure my dogs will remember this day as well.
