When a sample of 500 teenagers were asked in December 2001 what was the most important invention of the last millennium, the major said – the Computer. Will we ever log off in the 21st century? Probably not.
Have you heard of the toilet which automatically opens the lid as you are about to do your business and the lid closes when you're done and the toilet flushes – all on auto. Oh but wait, there's more. The seat guards itself via remote control and it comes with an automatic air purifier too.
That's just the start – get ready for a life led completely through the computer. Virtual adventures will abound; there 'll even be cyber vacations, devoid of real sand, real saltwater and – here's the good one – real sunburn. The virtual shopping experience is becoming uncannily similar to the experience of physically moving through a grocery store.

The Internet Marketing Revolution Will Only Happen Once. And everyone reading this will have the same opportunity. Bottom line, get involved or get run over. But how can you get involved? What could you possibly bring to the table? The answer is – your mouth.
Internet Buzz Marketing. You see, the Internet has a problem. In early Nov, 2006 it was reported that the number of websites has past the 100-million mark. You will never see them all. No one ever will.
Major players spend billions of dollars to get eyesballs to look at their website. Result? Some are still losing money. Hollywood has the same problem. Over 400 movies are being produced in Hollywood a year. Did you see everyone or did you see the ones that you friends recommended?
Hollywood can spend millions every year promoting movies. But a bad review from your co-worker means you're not going. Good or bad, word of mouth advertising – works!
People were questioned about how they found websites. Word of mouth was cited by 100% of respondents. The average consumer tells 12 people about a great website. It's called a BUZZ. Advertising can not buy it. Hollywood can not create it. But you can get paid for making it. Paid for your opinion. Paid for creating a buzz.
So, how do you cash in? That PC on your desktop is 100 times more powerful than the computer that sent man to the moon. Is not it time you put it to work?
In a recent report, "3 out of 4 holiday shoppers said they plan to shop for holiday gifts online, and 75% said they are likely to purchase gifts online from small businesses. more of their holiday shopping online, and nearly two thirds said online specialty, "niche," or boutique retailers are one of the "best places" to shop for unusual or hard-to-find gifts.

A business that you can do part time or full time. And it can be started at home with no large capital outlay. Low overhead. No employees. And no special business expertise or technical skills. A business that allows you to work your hours for your goals.
A business that offers time free. Financial freedom. And a franchise-like step by step business plan. And according to most experts a home based business offers incredible tax advantages. What are you waiting for? You think e-commerce is going away?
Statistics show that more and more adults ages 25 – 44 are looking to own their own business. The only question is are you ready? Are you tired of being passed up for promotions? Tired of commuting? Tired of the rat race? Are you ready to work your own hours?
Look at the facts. Even with all that's happened, this is just the beginning. What are you gonna say 10 – 20 – 30 years from now, when your grandkids ask if you were involved in the Internet Marketing Revolution?
The greatest boom is still ahead. A wealth of business opportunity continues to go to waste. There is a limited window of opportunity. Timing is critical. In the Internet economy it's called, first mover advantage. It's your move.
