Years ago, the idea of being able to pay your bills online was absurd. Getting your paycheck automatically deposited into your account through a computer was foreign. And the idea of having a live conversation with someone via typing at a keyboard in another state or country was crazy.

Now it seems crazy that it was considered crazy. Almost everything is done via computers these days: communications, finances, and buying/ordering stuff. In the past, the easiest way to read a magazine was through going out and buying one. The easiest way to subscribe was to fill out a card in the magazine and send it in. And the hardest part was waiting for it to come.

As the world's technology grows, so do its options in almost every facet of life. Magazines are distributed mainly per location: where they're most likely to get sold. A farmer magazine is not likely to sell in New York. A surfing magazine is not likely to sell in South Dakota. Hence, certain interest groups are not likely sold in certain places. What if someone in New York was or wants to be a farmer? How do they get a farming magazine? Online!

Not only do your options for which magazine to get open up, but also the convenience of ordering it is far easier. You don't have to go out to a grocery store or bookstore and look through all the magazines to find the one you want. You don't have to order through a pushy telemarketer. You don't have to send out a card. You just have to turn on your computer and browse in the comfort of your home. Ordering your magazine subscription online is fast, easy, reliable, and often cheaper.

Beyond subscriptions, you can usually search for, find, and order back issues, special editions, and old issues of magazines!

If you know what magazine you'd like to order, it's as easy as a few clicks away. If you're unsure of what magazine you'd like to subscribe to, it's easy to find recommendations, other people's opinions, or browse by topic until one catches your eye. The resources are limitless online!

Once you decide on your magazine, all that's left to order it. If you are like some weary Americans and have never ordered anything online before due to fear, or the fact it may be out of your comfort zone, know that if you use a reputable, well-respected, secure company, you are likely to get what you want, with no strings attached.

As the years progress, so does the amount of things done online. People can work from home, pay bills, meet their future husband, and now, order magazines online, all from the comfort of their own home.
