The Pros and Perils of Online Shopping

Data Doctors Radio Program | Ken Colburn & Brandon Disney By now the majority of us have made at least one online purchase. In fact, out of 190 million US Internet users, 120 million are now shopping online according to Jupiter Media (www.jupiter.com). The Internet has changed the way consumers buy almost any product!

So, why haven’t the other 70 million Internet users jumped on the bandwagon? There’s been a lot of controversy over the safety and reliability of online shopping. The Internet is a global network, and therefore a great deal of online stores are located in other countries with differing laws and liabilities. There’s also concern over the threat of completely illegitimate websites, offering phony products and services in an attempt to pilfer credit card information.

We know online shopping is convenient, but is it safe? Join Ken, Brandon, and Chad as we discuss the facts about online shopping.

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .

Geek Speak of the Week

HTTPS: HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol (Secured). HTTP may look somewhat familiar as it is the standard protocol your web browser uses to view websites. Due to the overwhelming demand for secure online transactions, HTTPS was designed as an encrypted version of the protocol to 'scramble' data between your computer and the shopping website.
