These days you can buy almost anything online.

• Most high street shops have Internet sites so instead of visiting one of their stores you can buy everything from furniture and clothes to CDs and books.

• The major supermarkets and chemists have Internet sites too, which means you can pick up most things you need for your home without ever having to leave it.

• There are also many Internet retailers that only sell things online so you can buy goods that your local shops don’t stock.

• You can buy things like train and plane tickets, holidays, insurance policies and, depending on where you live, you can even order a pizza online.

• It’s also possible to buy and download music, films and games straight to your computer and you can upload your digital photos to have them turned into prints and albums.

• We have even seen websites selling a Russian MIG fighter plane and a tropical island!
