Making $EN$E
of the Internet

The Internet has not only changed in looks, from the mid-80�s simple text, to the graphics, videos and audio rich experience we have today. The Internet has also changed the way we look at our finances and economy.

Many people fear the Internet, and they rightfully should, if proper precautions are not taken. When protected by a firewall you can use the Internet with relative peace of mind. You can get almost instant updates on stock exchanges, buy or sell shares, monitor transactions in a securities portfolio, you could even watch balances in your checking account.

Many services provide stock tickers right on your desktop like Yahoo, allowing you instant access to information all while you work. With access through a high speed Internet provider like CableONE.net you can have the quickest access to important information at your fingertips.

Restaurants and coffee shops are now providing wireless Internet access. While you are on lunch, or out for that morning coffee, get on the Internet and check email, or browse web pages using a wireless equipped laptop of handheld computer. Pizza by Stout is one such location in Joplin, offering wireless connection to the Internet, all while you dine.
