As we've often focused, you can do almost anything online that used to take phone calls or a trip to an office. Take online trading as an example, it used to be that you'd have to go down to a broker's office to open an account if you were interested in stock trading and then call that broker when you wanted to buy or sell something.
Now, you can use an online broker and even set up your account online. You have the power to control your own account instantly, with no hours of operation, only how much time you want to spend and when you want to spend it. You can even do mobile trading depending on the type of cell phone service you have. With online banking and other financial options, you can even handle your IRA accounts from your home or work computer.
Those of you who want the traditional services still can access them, however, those of you who want to harness the power of the internet? Have that choice.
