eCommerce & the Growing Virtual Criminals

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Tina L Douglas asked:




Ever wonder why the World Wide Web is still a growing industry despite the recent downfall in the economy? That why on earth many are still earning over the Web despite the obvious Recession? I mean, even major worldwide companies had to close down because of it.

Well, it’s obvious that business over the internet are booming and still growing by the minute. So what’s the rave all about? It’s called eCommerce.

You might have heard about eCommerce once in awhile, but have you even considered it? Before anything else, let’s first know a little more about eCommerce. eCommerce is technically business ran through the use of the Internet. Generally speaking, the use of the internet ain’t the only technology that brings eCommerce to life, but it is undeniably part of the whole process.

To make things clearer, eCommerce can be better understood as the buying and selling of different products and services with the use of the Internet and other forms of technology. In short, internet is its center for transaction.

How does it work? eCommerce can consists of the following:

• Internet Marketing- consists of product over-all packaging and marketing it all over the Internet, where you can target consumers and potential consumers

• Online Transaction Processing- it is when consumers put bids or orders for your product

• Electronic Data Interchange- when the order has been made, information’s are exchanged between the buyer and the provider such as personal information & credit card number.

• Electronic Funds Transfer- the mode of payment that has been agreed upon by both parties

There are other factors that contribute to the whole process of eCommerce like the actual shipment, and Inventory’s on the part of the Providers. As mentioned, there are other forms of technology that aids in making eCommerce possible, like the use of credit cards, ATM’s, & Telephone Banking.

eCommerce success can be attributed to the growing trend of the widely used Internet service. We are indeed undeniably living in a world where everything is run by the World Wide Web- where everything is literally just one click away.

But there is still the unquestionable hesitation looming in the air. We can’t blame people from shying away from this trend. The Internet- is and still will be- an unsecured world. There is always the question of security when it comes to the World Wide Web- it is still considered an Imperfect Technology after all.

The non-stop problems arising from identity theft is only but one problem that raises concern among consumers. When it comes to eCommerce, it’s no question that in order to make the transaction possible, certain personal information are needed to be divulged for it to be successful. And that, in itself is a problem. There is no assurance that your information would stay confidential. Today, in a world where almost everything is virtual, even criminals are adapting to the change.

But despite the haters, eCommerce is indisputably a successful venture for businesses, and is still a growing industry today and in the years to come.

Ecommerce and the Music Industry

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Tina L Douglas asked:




Music truly can make the world go round. Music has the ability to unify people in a single thought, may it be peace, harmony, joy, or a specific cause, and it has changed the word one song at a time. But music used to be limited and under appreciated by many. Not because music then was of poor quality but because it was not as accessible as it is today. We have a freedom today to gain access to all kinds of music through the help of technology therefore awareness and appreciation of the music industry has grown significantly in such a short span of time.

Long before the internet had its glory, music was confined to a smaller audience. Some of the most powerful songs written were sung and played underground in fear of other bigger issues like communism, capitalism and war. With the emergence of ecommerce, the world became a giant playground for music of different ages, stages, and styles. Ecommerce has opened a new way for music to be heard in other places where it can be appreciated to the fullest. Online music purchase has become so easy and fast that it has broken the barriers of not only geography but perhaps culture as well. When music started its way online, there became a new profit making industry.

Little did we know then that the music industry would be as big as it is now? Today, song sales on iTunes, eBay and Amazon total to billions of dollars daily and that is only counting the United States. Through ecommerce, stars have been born like Coldplay and Beyonce. These artists could have been famous only in their countries but the internet has created them into international super stars because ecommerce has enabled their songs to be purchased by anyone all over the world. Even smaller indie artists and underground bands can now showcase their talent online through ecommerce giving each artist a chance to make it big where the music field is a little more leveled.

Buying songs online has also allowed the consumer more liberty to choose what songs they want to spend on. During the older days, songs had to be bought with the whole album but today, you can buy the song as an individual. This has increased sales more than ever. Not only are the songs available but they too are available as soon as the album hits the market. This makes them available online to anyone around the world as soon as the song is out. This feature of ecommerce helps make music more globally competitive and effective. There is no more discrimination as to who and when these song can only be heard.

Some negative effects though have also hurt the music industry. Because the internet is so accessible and easy to use, the exchange of illegal downloads have also flourished. This development slows down the profits of ecommerce because now, the music can be taken for free. Current ways are being tried to control this phenomenon.
