Common and Uncommon Miracles of the Internet

Sometimes I come across other uses for the internet that are so far, uncommon. I think the trend of netbooks, small computers basically made to run internet applications is amazing, because it is a natural outgrowth of the fact that you can do almost anything on the internet.

You can:
-make phone calls
-write school papers and other documents
-track your bank account

I buy all my textbooks for less, talk to interesting people that I would normally never have the opportunity to meet, and check my jury duty online.

However, today I found out that I can tivo any show with kwiry, according to this article at ReadWriteWeb.

Think about it... I could be at work until midnight and not miss Battlestar Galactica by texting "tivo Battlestar Galactica" on my break.

Apparently, you can harness social media to capture criminals! Police in New Zealand caught a burglar by posting images on Facebook.

Could we really use the internet to cut down on crime?
