Norton is a virus software that can tell you when someone is spying on you. If you want to purchase something online make sure it has a security page lock on it. i would call the company up to purchase the item myself.
If you a shopper or gambler than I am sure you have figured out by now that it is bad. It is addicting to some people to spend their cash on the internet. You can search for items or collect items and spend like you wouldn’t believe. It is hard to mange your bills and shop.

Checking the weather
Reading news
Researching medicine, profits, companies
Selling and buying items

Chatting is haveing fun and a time for socializing. For moms and dads that do not get out of the house much they find people to talk with here. The internet has message boards also. You can not trust anyone on the internet because it is just a screen hiding the person’s face and some people lie to impress others. Never tell anyone your personal information ever. Use the chats and boards to chat and never use bad langauge to you will be kicked off.
If you spend too much time on the internet and you do not have to than try this:
Schedule a time in the morning or day
Spend time with family first
While spouse is working do house chores first than log on
Don’t hog the computer for a long period of time
Try to find a job or go back to school
The pc can make you money but it also makes you spend it
It can be overwhelming to use the pc but you need to remember if you cannot afford it do not buy it. If you use the pc for a social life than try to spend time with family first. Your internet friends are there whethere you log off or on. The internet is fun. Use it wisely!
