HOW TO PICK A LEGITIMATE INTERNET BUSINESSWritten by Barrett LaComb
If you have ever performed a search on Internet for a Home Based Business then you know there are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of people willing to help you get into one. Knowing which business and which people to trust is largely a matter of common sense...”If it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam to get your money”. There are resources on internet to help you make informed decisions about which business or businesses may be scams and which ones are for real. One indication that a business is honest and legitimate is “BBB” online symbol usually located at bottom of business’ home page. If “BBB” emblem is not present, you can go to: http://www.bbbonline.org and see if company is listed with them. Some on line companies are also listed with Better Business Bureau in their home states and can be checked by going to: http://www.bbb.org. There is a lot of information about businesses and scams on this site so it is worth doing a little reading while there. Just because a business isn’t listed with “BBB” doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s not legitimate. You can do a search on internet for a particular business by name and read what other people have to say about it. Read several of these “critiques” to get different perspectives on business from different people. When I read something bad about a business in one place, I almost always do some more digging. Who knows but what person that wrote “critique” may have had a bad experience with one “bad apple” associated with that business.

The scientific revolution that would later challenge entrenched "truths" espoused by Church was also largely a consequence of print technology. The scientific principle of repeatability--the impartial verification of experimental results-- grew out of rapid and broad dissemination of scientific insights and discoveries that print allowed. The production of scientific knowledge accelerated markedly. The easy exchange of ideas gave rise to a scientific community that functioned without geographical constraints. This made it possible to systematize methodologies and to add sophistication to development of rational thought. As readily available books helped expand collective body of knowledge, indexes and cross-referencing emerged as ways of managing volumes of information and of making creative associations between seemingly unrelated ideas.Innovations in convenience of knowledge and formation of human thought that attended rise of print in Europe also influenced art, literature, philosophy and politics. The introduction of print material adds up to large and rises of different fields of endeavor. Thus, explosive innovation that characterized Renaissance was amplified, if not in part generated by, printing press. The rigidly fixed class structure which determined one's status from birth based on family property ownership began to yield to rise of an intellectual middle class. The possibility of changing one's status infused less privileged with ambition and a hunger for education. Print technology facilitated a communications revolution that reached deep into human modes of thought and social interaction. Print, along with spoken language, writing and electronic media, is thought of as one of markers of key historical shifts in communication that have attended social and intellectual transformation. Oral culture is passed from one generation to next through full sensory and emotional atmosphere of interpersonal interaction. Writing facilitates interpretation and reflection since memorization is no longer required for communication and processing of ideas. Recorded history could persist and be added to through centuries. Written manuscripts sparked a variation on oral tradition of communal story-telling--it became common for one person to read out loud to group.
