It costs more a month, but Webpages load faster with a high-speed connection, I can upload and download files quicker. I usually check my email first and write a few messages to family and friends. I sometimes scan the local news headlines at my favorite news Website and read up on the latest local and international news. This Website often provides video news clips that you can view online. I sometimes order products or services online to save money and time instead of going to a store and buying what I’m looking for. For example, I ordered a digital camera onlinethe other day and saved about $50. Whatever I do, I realize that there are problems with using the Internet including scams, identity theft, and viruses, so I’m very careful not to give out my personal information.
