During the course of the program, there was a segment on some entrepreneur who had decided that what the digital world really needed was a computerized tombstone. Photographs, a brief biography and other information about the person interred flash up at the touch of a button. And I thought I was wired. While I'm not too sure how many people are going to sign up for a digital tombstone, I am certain that appealing to a high-tech audience can be good for pretty much any business. It must work at least somewhat, otherwise people wouldn't keep sending it.
Electronic commerce is finally on the rise and is slowly and surely moving toward acceptance.
But there are a few easy things you can do to make your online buying experience a bit safer. First and foremost, use a credit card. With secured servers, you really don't have to worry very much at all these days about someone snagging your credit card number and using it to buy Just What They've Always Wanted. Credit cards give you much consumer protection, so if the business you are dealing with turns out to be some sort of a scam, you should be able to dispute the charges - and any accumulated interest. This means it gets removed from your bill, and your life, with relative ease.
