Digital Commerce

History Of E-Commerce

E-commerce can be defined as the process of doing transactions with the aid of electronic communication, by using technologies such as Electronic Data Inter Change(EDI) and Electronic Funds Trans-fare(EFT) to allow business and people to exchange information by doing electronic transactions.

E-commerce in its true sense became possible in 1991 when the internet was opened to the general public for commercial use. since then hundreds of thousands of business have taken up residence there. even though the internet's popularity to the general public happened in 1994, it took approximately four years to develop electronic security protocols(http and DSL), which gave a rapid access with persistent connection to the internet. Since then people began to define the term e-Commerce as the process of buying products and services over the internet using secure connection.

Importance Of Being Informed

As a consumer, it goes without a saying that it is of high importance to be informed. While searching for goods and services one needs to know about the company, even if the benefits are presented in a good way. in most case when we purchase products and services, our decisions are influenced what our surrounding and society at large are buying especially parents and family.
