         A few "tips" to help maintain personal, trusting and lasting consumer relationships through the Internet Barrier. Technology, particularly the Internet, has undoubtedly changed the way we as human beings, so countless things over the last 15 years or so. There is no question. What does seem to be an ongoing debate however, with opinions that from what I have heard vary pretty evenly is, "Has technology helped or hurt our overall relationships and the way we interact with our fellow beings, both professional levels as well as personal levels?"

Knowledge really is power and the knowledge I obtained from reading this particular book has given me the power to relate to people according to who they are, based on their personality type.     People are like snowflakes as in there are no two people that are exactly alike and we all have our own different persona
