Thanks to the internet, the world is now literally at our fingertips. It is now possible to pay your bills, replenish your wardrobe, complete your Christmas shopping, register for a university, chat with friends in China or Australia, search and apply for a job, request library books, and research everything you ever wanted to know about the pygmy monkey.
