Get an agent.
Agents are software programs that act on a person's behalf.
A growing crop of so-called intelligent agents can help individuals and organizations ply the Net. Agents also can download software, dispatch electronic mail and grab sound bites and images. Essentially, agents can do anything a person can do on the Web. However, they can complete their jobs automatically and at any hour - even when their human masters are not on the Internet. It's not magic. . . .
