Online Stuff You Need To Use To Save

By Cornelius Nunev


The Internet is a great tool. Sometimes, it's an unsavory or even harmful tool, but nonetheless, the Internet stays multifaceted. Here are a few things you didn't know you can do online, things that are secure, sanitary and productive. You may even save some money.

Electronic way 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 site and other websites comparable to it. You can even use a virtual ruler if you do not have a ring as a comparison.

Things you didn't know you could do on the internet No. 2 - Find pupillary distance

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

A plane seat for you

SeatGuru and other 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 simpler on everybody.

3-D fun with children

If you want to do a 3-D craft, head to Shapeways, i.Materialise and other online websites. They will help you print off your design to be able to produce it.

An assistant for a short tie

You can get someone else to do small jobs for you such as pet-sitting and gift-shopping while you are too busy with TaskRabbit. A personal assistant is already pre-screened for the job and can help you out.

Sketch a person's face

If you are a sufferer in a crime and have to quickly jot down the person's face, go to Ultimate Flash Face and websites similar to it to create a police-style sketch.

Take a class for free at MIT

The MIT Department of Physics uses Open Courseware to provide people with video lectures, notes, assignments and more to allow people to get a free education. You can learn about all kinds of sciences.

Check the record of Congressmen

If you are attempting to choose if you really want to vote for a Congressperson again or not, check OpenCongress. The site will help you put in your zip code and find your congressperson so you can figure out if they are worth voting for anymore. You can see how they have voted on bills and problems in congress recently to determine if they are a good fit.
