What Odd Things Can You Do Online?

By Cornelius Nunev


The Internet is a great tool. Occasionally, it's an unsavory or even harmful tool, but nevertheless, the Internet stays multifaceted. Here are a few things you didn't know you could do on the internet, things that are secure, hygienic and productive. You may even save some money.

Not too difficult to get a ring size

Get a ring and driver's license and go to FindMyRingSize.com to figure out what your ring size is. It is really easy to discern your size with the website and other online websites comparable to it. You can even use a virtual ruler if you do not have a ring as a comparison.

What type of glasses do you need?

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

Flying in the right seat

SeatGuru and other online websites 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 a problem with them, making it easier on everybody.

3-D fun with kids

If you want to do a 3-D craft, head to Shapeways, i.Materialise and other sites. They will help you print off your design in order to produce it.

Things you didn't know you could do online No. 5 - Finding a one-time assistant

While it isn't for dirty deeds and it's not dirt cheap, finding somebody for one-time jobs like gift shopping, pet sitting and more demands 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.

Sketch a person's face

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

Lectures, notes and tasks from MIT

Totally free, the MIT Department of Physics supplies video lectures, notes, tasks and solutions via Open Courseware. Mechanics, astrophysics and more could be yours, without the degree to show for it.

Members of congress have a record

If you are trying to decide if you really want to vote for a Congressperson again or not, check OpenCongress. The website will help you put in your zip code and find your congressperson so you can determine if they are worth voting for anymore.
