On the Internet
While using the Internet, you can learn about any number of topics and buy almost anything. Be aware, though, that Internet shopping, like traditional shopping, may carry some risk. Software to protect you and your privacy is often a part of most web sites. In fact, when ordering online, it would be wise to check if you are on a secure server by looking for a security symbol such as an unbroken key or padlock symbol at the bottom of your Internet browser window. These symbols indicate that any information you may send to the web site, including your credit card numbers, is encrypted or put into computer code prior to transmission.
