Get the Intermet ... No More Excuses

 As much as we hear about the Internet and all the wonderful things we can do, learn and experience from it, there are still a lot of people that don't have access to the Internet. There are so many reasons that everyone should have access to the internet, that we could right an entire book on the advantages of have internet access. Some of theses pluses include, assistance with school work, easy access to pay bills and banking, entertainment and up to the minute news and information. There are many reasons that some people still don't have internet service but the two most prevalent reasons are being in an area that has minimal internet providers and cost.

There are still areas that there is no internet service, believe it or not. Then you have areas that have internet services but no broadband services. For these areas, without broadband, dsl and dial-up internet are the best options. Though, not as fast as broadband service, dial-up and dsl services have been improved, over the years to be able to offer good speeds and reliability. Dsl is the faster of the two, but both work over a standard telephone line so if you have home phone service, chances are you can get either dsl or dial-up internet service in your home.

Most internet service providers will offer unlimited dial-up internet service for very low prices. Though money is very tight for some households, it is worth the sacrifice to get internet into your home. Over time, the internet maybe able to save you some money. The Internet can help you save by allowing you to paying bills online, avoiding postage costs and late fees. Depending on your interest and motivation, the Internet may be able to help you make some money! There is affordable Internet service around.  For example, Copper.net, a all American owned and operated company, offers services that start at $9.95/mo. for unlimited dial-up internet access.

My new Texas sized business

Guest post of the week by Moises Henderson

When my husband first told me that we would be moving to Dallas for him to take a fancy new job I was feeling a lot of emotions. Happiness was the first one and then a bunch of others came after it like worry, fear, anxiety, stress and many more. I was worried for myself because he told me in Texas I would have to worry about getting a job if I didn’t want to. The problem is I loved the job that I was in at the time in our home state Illinois. I didn’t want to leave the city that I grew up in but I knew that it was for him and our future family. Once we got to Dallas I had a genius idea for a new boutique that is something they had never seen before. I got right away starting on the plans for my store. I had to decide everything from flooring to paint to inventory to what kind of internet service I wanted to have. The décor was easy and after finding T1 Dallas internet was easy too.

Social networking

Thanks for the guest post by Jonathan Curtis

The age of social networking is upon us. I know that it has reached the outer limits of the population because my 86 year old grandfather recently set up a social networking account. I live in a rural area and set up my internet through http://www.satellitestarinternet.com/hughesnet_plans_pricing.html, so I have not been on Facebook for very long. The problem with my grandfather being on facebook is that he now has access to information about me and my other family members like never before. This is not necessarily a good thing. My grandfather is pretty conservative, and I have a couple of cousins who are pretty wild. For the first time he has seen what his grandkids are really like. One cousin I have is so wild and spends money so quickly, that it forced my grandfather to change his will. I only know this because my mom told me. It is kind of sad that my grandfather does not trust his own grandchildren, but to be honest, some of us are not that trustworthy. I guess this is life in the information age.
