The trends of shopping online

So what the hell is shopping online?
One simplest way to express my point of view about this damn subject is telling you a story of my experience in a military vacation. I remembered my teacher, not young not too old, had spoken to us that: Ecommerce is the buying and the selling of electronic goods! OMG, that sucks


Untill recent days shopping is still processed by people. Both customers and sellers meet in the market. Then they discuss about product prices, some details and warranty policies...but perhaps in a bad day, everything gone badly and there is absolutely not any contracts signed. The cancellation of the work, the loss of time and the cost they have paid ..could stress themselves@

So what if we want to reduce the loss to minimum. The answer is going shopping online. Certainly, every country have its own conditions to reach their targets. It is believed that ecommerce and shopping online is not new, even in the least developed countries. The invention of computers, the Intenet and the WWW have already happened three or four decades ago. So the development of ecommerce will depend on what strategies they design and do for their country other than the luck or the help from foreign ones.


For example, let's look at USA, maybe the country received most from things having told. The Department of Commerce announced that in 2006 the sales of retail ecommerce is about 107 $billions, up from 87$billions in 2005. Also, this took about 3 % of total sales. From big to big, this success also happens in Japan, Europe and almost G20

But the same thing doesn't come with the other parts of the world. That may be the Asia, South America and especially the Africa. The same thing can't come because the law, the knowledge, the infrastructure...The goverment can't control the net, the technology knowlegde is below average ... couldn't help them. The ecommerce in Africa is worth about 31$million in which 95% is coming from South Africa


So the picture is not in the same colour for every country. Each must have its own strategies. But hope in the future, the same bright will come over every place
