Online finance and shopping
Now you can use the Internet to monitor and manage your financial affairs, including retirement plan, brokerage, bank and credit card accounts. Many banks, credit card companies and even utilities give you the ability to make payments online and schedule automatic payments. And state-of-the-art security systems and encryption measures have made managing your finances online extremely safe and secure.
As for shopping, you can probably find as much (if not more) on the Internet as you can at the mall. The Internet is a great place to comparison shop, but make sure you buy from Web sites that have a solid reputation and secure transaction processing.
