Covergences-EBay

I honestly was not expecting "All my Life for Sale" by John Freyer to be that interesting. I was taken by surprise that by simply putting items on EBay could change someones life that drastically. He began by just posting items for sale on EBay to get rid of his clutter. Throughout the process, he got the idea of starting friendships with each person he had done business with; go to visit each one. He started another website on temporama.com. This website was a way to post daily updates on where he was, and who he was coming to visit next. John's outlook was changed immensely after September 11th, when he happened to be in New York during the tragedy. He decided to return to Iowa and try again. He quoted, "All too often in my life I had just picked up and left when things got difficult or overwhelming, and started over somewhere else." I really enjoyed the fact that just through the internet John created such meaningful relationships. This shows that Internet can be a great thing. It not only allows you to gain information but to form relationships that may last a life time. If you use it in the correct way like John did, it might impact your life as well. Without technology, John's idea would not have even been executed; and who knows what he would be doing now. Technology is becoming a huge part of the world today. However, if everyone uses it in the way that John did, I will look forward to the future.
