Internet Stuff You Should Use To Save

By Cornelius Nunev


No, the Internet is not just for porn. Here are a few handy things you may not have known you can do on the internet.

Figure out ring size

Web sites like FindMyRingSize.com make determining your ring size - or someone else's - quite simple. Using a ring for comparison and a card the size of a driver's license or credit card and the website shows you how to discern the size. If you do not have a ring handy, there's a virtual ruler.

Things you didn't know you could do on the internet No. 2 - Find pupillary distance

On the internet eye ware retailer Warby Parker made it a lot simpler for consumers to figure out their pupillary distance using a webcam, card and slip of paper. It is a useful tool for customers trying to figure out the distance between their eyes. A prescription is simple to get, but much of the time, pupillary distance is not listed, making it hard to buy glasses on the internet.

Things you didn't know you could do on the internet No. 3 - Find your plane seat

SeatGuru and other sites will provide you with a seat map in a flight, so you can see a picture of the exact seat on the flight. There is also a tool where customers can flag seats if there is an issue with them, making it simpler on everybody.

Do a craft in 3-D

Shapeways and i.Materialise are great places to take pleasure in your 3-D craft jones. Draw up a design and print it, or import your own 3-D model and these web websites will help you print.

Get an assistant really easily

While it's not for dirty deeds and it's not dirt cheap, finding someone for one-time jobs like gift shopping, pet sitting and more needs the right kind of search service. TaskRabbit is one of these, where a pre-screened personal assistant could be had for your legal job requirement.

Create a police-sketch after negative experience

You can go to websites such as Ultimate Flash Face if something goes wrong and you need to create a quick police sketch of the assailant.

Take a class free of charge at MIT

The MIT Department of Physics utilizes Open Courseware to provide people with video lectures, notes, tasks and more to allow people to get a free education. You can learn about all kinds of sciences.

Deciding to vote on Congress member

Not sure whether you need to vote your local Congressperson's carcass back into office? Sites like OpenCongress enable you to go straight into their voting record to see if they are in tune with your political leanings on the problems. How they vote on bills, problems and policies are all there. If you are not sure who your senator or representative is, you can enter your ZIP code into OpenCongress and it will tell you.
