Release NotesThe Internet made its way into everyday life as a tool people used occasionally
to keep in touch with friends and gather information for personal or business
needs. Now, thanks to high-speed connections, wireless access, and safe and
powerful Web sites, the Internet has become the main means for handling personal
finance, shopping for big-ticket items, and communicating with people around the
world. It's to the point where many people can't get through the day without
turning to the Internet to get things accomplished.
The Everyday Internet All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies is the complete
resource for casual Internet users who are looking to make the jump to becoming
experienced navigators of the wired world. Written by Internet guru Peter
Weverka, this book walks readers through the basics of going online before
heading into the realms of online bargain shopping, bill paying, personal
finance, keeping up with hobbies, and even setting up an online business.
