1. E-commerce is very crucial in now-a-day's tech-society. Where internet is the most used, people would rather order thing and but goods online then leave the comfort of their own home. However, though it is so much more practical, its not always a good thing. When buying clothes, you might get a size too big or a size too small--and thats because you didn't try them on! I think that the impact e-commerce haves on customers is now laziness.

3. I can identify opportunities dealing with an extranet by a university or college. A student can definitely receive more info from their for studies, watch classes online, etc.

However, when it comes to my own personal comfort, i would tell a store personal info to receive personal service--if i needed it.
