The only bad part is that too much time can be spent doing non-productive things. The advantages for me are numerous. Pharmaceutical companies can be found and applications printed out for assistance with purchasing medications. Information on drugs, symptoms, and vitamins can be found. Patterns for crochet and crafts are there. Plenty of shopping sources are on the internet.
