Online myths

Going online for things is alien for me as is buying ,selling and all. eBay was never my thing but because I believe that one must know how all things work,I decided to go online to rent out my flat. Old fashioned me believes in doing some research so there I was looking for possible rents for the area so I went on to an Indian rental service website which has been advertised so heavily that I expected not just the earth and the moon but also the stars. Suffice to say I got nothing at all. When I couldn't find what I was looking for I did an advance search and put on location and various other parameters and what I got was rents for apartments in places at least forty five to fifty kilometers away from the location chosen. Now explain to me how this is of anyrelevance. So who actually updates these sites,and let me tell you I didn't stop with one. The point is that each area commands a different rate,each product demands a different set of parameters,so what is the idea of giving one every choice available most of which is irrelevant. This is my problem with internet these days and especially with the Indian web sites. Of ourse we Indians demand a lot more,we are the kind who love to search for the best bargains and all that but honestly if I wanted to do that wouldn't I just go driving around in my car. Talking to all and sundry why would I click on something from the privacy of my home only to be given data which is of no use to me....what irks me most ofcourse if the constant ads that these sites run,all of them telling us how we can change our lives in seconds (that in itself should have warned me,where does anything happen in seconds?. Even god took seven days for heavens sake). Thanks to having grown up with no internet,I have all my age old fallback options,friends,phone calls,etc etc so it's back to good old legs to do the walking and coversations that will throw up the next best thing. As for online checking,well I will indulge in to just to pick holes but never to do serious business.
