Finances via the internet

People like shiny new things. Many people like shopping and shopping via the internet is very convenient. You can shop while you are at your favorite coffee shop, on break at work or sitting on a bench at your favorite park. Shopping online saves you money, saves you time spent driving to and from the store and it lets you bargain a bit. If you find what you are looking for it is very convenient to pay online using PayPal or entering your credit card information.

Even though there is a danger associated with shopping online people still continue to shop. The question is: is the risk not great enough to outweigh efficiency? For many people the answer is no. Some people would say that they live in too of a remote area and they can’t find what they are searching for in their nearest stores at the same price. The efficiency of shopping online and having it shipped to your house is very high and it can’t be beat. Another refute would be that nothing has happened to me or to anyone else I know…Denial. Many people are in denial about what is going on and what might happen to them. They buy Northern Virus protection, encrypt their websites and they believe that they are all set.

A person who shops online can also ask you – how safe is it to give your credit/ debit card to an employee in any store. They still have your information after you leave the store, who knows what happens to it or who sees it?

Not only can u shop online you can also bank. While banking online you can transfer funds between your checking and savings account and between many other ones you have. It is also possible to buy stock online and buy pass the middle man-the broker. Stopping by the bank, waiting in line is a waste of time when they can do the same via the internet. Besides banking is not as personal as it was ten, fifteen years ago. Also banks have set hours and you can’t wait on them when you need money right away.

Internet is a technology that has become popular by word of mouth and has become integrated very suddenly into the lives of many people. Being able to use this technology is a mark of a modern man and has also become very addictive. Convenience, saving time is very honored in our society and that is why despite the danger associated with using the internet for purchases it continues. It is the disease of the modern man. Money is the name of the game. It is the driving force of technology.
