Ahh Computers. These things are a blessing to society. One of the features to look for when shopping for computers is how they connect to the internet. Also the amount of storage of which to save your work on the computer itself, through the HDD, plus the amount of RAM for the speed. (Look at the previous post to learn more.)
Many of us have grown accustom to the wonderful feature the "Internet". Since it's arrival, most think in the year 1995, it has become a powerhouse. Anyone can do just about anything legal and sometimes illegal on it. It has paved the way for virtual communities. These are the likes of MySpace and Facebook. Others are online chat rooms or instant messengers which are still part of virtual communities.
Since you have read the previous post, I hope, and read the above you must know that you have to have a way on how to reach the internet. There is a couple of ways on how to get to the internet. One, by having a dial-up modem which then you will have to acquire numbers from a service provider then dial-up to the internet. The more conventional way to connect is through a network interface card (NIC pronounced nick). This way the internet is always a click away. You don't have to dial-up (du) and wait, plus it is a faster connection. One of the fasts growing ways to connect to the internet is wireless which the computer that is purchased will most likely have a wireless card built in. If the computer doesn't purchase a wireless card and a wireless router, that can produce the internet connection. By that the wireless card can then pick up the signal.
Hopefully I have enlightened you on some of the things to look for when purchasing a computer.

Question: of the many ways listed to 'connect' to the internet, is one way more secure than the others?
The more secure way would be dial-up because hackers don't like to take the time to undermine the connection with the information passing through the connection.
