Through my years of strife and struggle I have come to realize an almost universal truth; most people would prefer to do as little as they can to obtain as much as possible.  Sure this sounds lazy, but it’s the American way.  People and companies alike are always trying to find the most efficient, easiest solution to any given problem.  That doesn’t mean cutting corners necessarily, it just means that we want to cut out any unnecessary steps involved in the process. For example, a person who buys and sells on ebay for a living but doesn’t have access to a high speed connection has a couple choices: either drive down to a WIFI hot-spot somewhere in town and essentially work from their car ( which cost gas money, is probably uncomfortable, and is maybe even a little degrading). Or they could visit mybluedish.com, who provides high speed Internet to the rural areas of America, talk to a representative on the telephone about the specifics, and set a date to have their own high speed connection installed at their home.  This will, I promise you, increase your productivity and by having a high speed connection at home one would be more inclined to further research other avenues of financial gain just because it’s now there at home and not many miles away.  Buying and selling products on ebay is just one example of the many possibilities available to make money on the Internet.  Having access to high speed Internet can open up a world of financial opportunity.
