The Groupon Guide to: Surfing the Internet
Containing everything from the great works of literature to spoilers for the upcoming presidential election, the Internet can be a valuable resource—if you know how to use it. Use these tips to ensure a productive trip to cyberspace and back:
- Type the word surf into your computer's keyboard at anytime to access your Internet's web browser.
- If your computer is less than 10 years old, your browser must be voice navigated. Shout such things as "photo of a helicopter" or "birth parents?" and let the Internet do the rest.
- The Internet has more than 60 websites. Remember your favorites by "bookmarking" them (writing their names down on a bookmark you keep nailed to your computer).
- Surf safely. Not only is this practical advice, it's also the name of the web's official mascot, Surf Safely, the surfing coyote who reminds children not to burn down the Internet.
- Unplug and unwind. Using the Internet for more than four minutes a day will cause hair to grow uncontrollably from your mouth.
