The Internet brings a world of information, goods, and services right to your front door. Having your own Internet connection at home allows you to take advantage of these resources 24 hours a day. Some of the reasons you might consider getting the Internet at home include:

• Staying in Touch: Keep in touch with loved ones for free through e-mail, instant messaging, Internet calling (which allows you to make long-distance phone calls for free), and social networking (through sites like Facebook and MySpace).
• Having Fun: Watch international sporting events, download movies and TV shows to your computer, and play a wide range of video games.
• Helping your Kids in School: Educational games and websites can help your children learn to love school and help them with their homework.
• Saving Money: Researching and purchasing big items like televisions and cars can save you money by helping you find the lowest price and saving time and transportation costs.
• Getting Informed: Get information on topics ranging from your health to the weather to the best place to get a meal or an oil change. Search engines allow you to find information on whatever topic you’re interested in.
• Accessing Services: Apply for health, food, tax, and other support programs on the Internet through One-e-App. You can also pay bills, apply for a student loan, and conduct services at government agencies like the DMV.
• Finding a Job: Conduct a job search over the Internet using sites such as Monster and Craigslist, seek tips on resume writing and interview skills, and apply for jobs quickly and easily by submitting your cover letter and resume via e-mail.
