Different types of E-commerce.
E-commerce Ecommerce is the ability to, browse, decide, purchase goods online through the use of the internet and internet transactions exchange procedures. There are four different types of E-commerce and they are • Business to Business (B2B) • Business to Consumer (B2C) • Consumer to Consumer (C2C) • Consumer to Business (C2B) The advantages of using of ecommerce for the customers are * Buying can be easy and private because the product you want to buy maybe in another country making it easier to buy it from your own home and it can be brought privately this way because no one has to know that you have brought that product. * You would have much choice over the internet because the internet has become so big there are endless products you would want to buy. * It can also save you time buying something over the internet because the place you would want to go to could be a long distance away making it more efficient to do it over the internet. * Buying is interactive and immediate because you can buy it with instant success making it easier and immediate. * Can be used 24/7 because the internet ever closes. Disadvantages of ecommerce for the customers are: * Security concerns with personal and credit card details. * You can't check the quality when purchasing like you could in a shop. * Things might look different online to what you get e.g. slightly
The Future of communication.
The Future of communication -"Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth. --Now this is an interesting number, for by a curious coincidence there are approximately a hundred billion stars in our local universe, the Milky Way. So for every man who has ever lived, in this universe, there shines a star." (from Clarke's foreword in 2001, A Space Odyssey, 1968) I think the next century; the educational revolution will ensure that learning will be completely liberated from the tyrannies of schedules and locations. Anybody, anywhere will be able to study any subject, and access any form of information - at his or her most comfortable speed. This will make education the life-long process it must be.*** I defiantly think the future of communications is in people. People will become more open to discussion or chat. Interaction of any kind is an important form learning, even body language; people will be more expressive and affectionate with each other. Who knows? The world may be a safer and ever more comfortable place to live…. I mean, we have seen single-interest groups - pro-choice, environmental, animal rights, and gay rights groups being the most prominent in the past centuary. Although I am always feeling since

One week I worked on the shop floor and the second one I worked in the office. It was an enjoyable work experience and I've learned a lot during two weeks. Tesco is one of the best-known names in the High Street. It is a large public limited company (plc) with approximately 165 000 share holders. By 1995, Tesco had become the largest food retailer in the UK, overtaking Sainsbury's. The company operates 800 stores throughout Europe. What is meant by the term 'administrative systems'? Administrative: relating to the arrangements and work, which is needed to control the operation of a plan or organization. System: a way of doing things.

It is important for a business to have 'administrative systems' in place to: * Save money * Help the business run smoothly * Make it easy for supervisors to manage their staff. * Save resources * Save time The main systems at my work placement are: * Answering the telephone. Answering the telephone wasn't that good because when there was a big queue hardly anyone thought of answering the phone, which don't make a quite good 'customer

Real time inforamtion
Real time information Real time information provides up to date transportation arrival information for passengers waiting at airport, bus-stop or train station. They display the number of minutes that passengers can expect to wait before the arrival of their required transportation. On boarding into it the RTI unit displaces and announces its next station, or stop. How does RTI works? Real time information (RTI) unit works by sending a signal from one place of transportation services to RTI sign using satellite and radio communications. The signal from the vehicle is used to locate it along its route. A computer system uses this information to predict how long will the journey be. The data is dispatched every 30 seconds and the location of the vehicle and its estimated time of arrival are set accordingly. There are RTI signs currently located in the local bus services all around London. Countdown is an electronic information display system that gives people waiting at bus stops real-time information on bus arrival times. The increasing use of information technology and electronic communications has raised travellers' Expectations on the provision of transport information. Increasingly a printed timetable at a bus stop falls short of the mark, and passengers now expect relevant, accurate and timely information to allow them to make informed decisions on travel
