For many of us, our primary means of communication is email, often through multiple email accounts. We “tweet” about the latest happenings through our Twitter accounts. We keep in touch with friends and colleagues through social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn. We also store family photos and other important information on a growing array of online sites. When it comes to our financial assets, such as bank accounts and brokerage accounts, we often access them using the internet. Many of us pay our bills electronically. And as business owners, we may own an internet domain name.
