A lot of people, young and old, complain about modern life and how we're all slaves to the latest technological whatever. There may be a lot of things we could do without, but the Internet isn't one of them as far as I'm concerned.I don't know what I'd do without the convenience of looking up something, anything, in an instant.
As an example, I was wondering why all cops don't have a light attached to their guns. You know when you see a movie and a cop is juggling a flashlight and a gun? I cruised over to the L. A. Police Gear website. I've been checking out various items on the site in connection with a book I'm researching. Right there, I found an easily attached light called the Surefire x300.
The little gadget only weighs 3.7 ounces with the batteries installed. They're a bit pricy so chances are police departments don't pass them out like donuts, but my cop in my book will definitely have a Surefirex300 to attach to his sidearm.
Takeaway Truth
The Internet makes research a breeze for writers. Surf the net and learn something new every day.
I like checking out Ranger Joe's for survival gear. :o)
