Hmm... those definitions present me with a wide array of choices. Gee, there's my cell phone, the washer and dryer, Starbucks (does that count?), my iTouch, my car... I think I'll settle for this, though:
I think it best fits definition #2 - a plan to effect a purpose. I found the perfect pair of jeans because of google. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've googled something whether it's a medical thing, homeschool curriculum, hotels for a road trip - you name it! How did we ever survive before google?
well, why don't you just shout out all the good options so we other 'challengers' can't use 'em? Now, I'm really gonna have to be creative...
