Computer world and the economy

With gas prices soaring out of control more and more people will be using their computers to do shopping online. One thing that also may change in the next few years is that employers will allow their employees to work from home. I see this a alternative to commuting. We can do our part by looking for ways to save time and money by doing as much as we can from our home computers.

Some have been very reluctant to conduct business from home because of fear and privacy issues. If you take good steps to protect your computer you should have no problems of your identity being stolen. Just make sure you have good virus and spyware protection.
