New Jersey is the most densely populated of the fifty states.
Its residents span the broadest spectrum of age, profession, religion, race, marital status, etc., but the one tie that binds a high percentage of these people is that they are cyber-savvy. From the company putting up its first web site, to the web site designer, from the graphic artist, to the writer and musician, we all have a hand in the development of this new medium of communication. Because of New Jersey's close proximity to New York City and Philadelphia, its network of highways and array of human and natural resources, many corporations have found it an ideal location to establish either their headquarters or a division of their companies. A number of these companies are now ready to get on the information superhighway, whether it be with a web site, a CD-ROM, or a multimedia presentation, but because New York City has established itself as one of the capitals of the new media industry, many of these companies are overlooking firms in New Jersey and handing the work to New York City firms. It doesn't have to happen like this.
