When E-Commerce and M-Commerce plays with my Social Life

 


When I was in 10th grade, I started using Facebook. Even though mobile phones were common, I only got a chance then to be online. It was fun. Chatting with friends, connecting to more people and every one I found there. 

I remember the days we used to call. Everyone including all the members of my family used to have a conversation through phone calls. And that was the only way to talk. Now, everything has changed and become easier. Today, I talk to my friends and family in different ways. We get to talk daily through WhatsApp, through video calls, get to know everyday joys through the status, and more. Now it feels easier to connect to and with people. 

Like this, everything got easier through new technology. Now, one could shop just by sitting at home where everything that you needed was just one click away. Select your favorite brand, compare with more, and get the things you need at the best price. This is the use of e-commerce. Like Amazon and Flipkart, there are so many other shopping sites that help us in buying the product we need with the best quality, price, and offers. Households, electronics, fashion, food, and what not!

So this is how we shop now. But how do we pay for them? This isn't a big deal either., with these payment apps like PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, etc are here. These apps had already taken our wallet space. Everybody is now comfortable scanning QR codes to do their payments. It's the simplest and easiest way to pay right. Like shopping, could also be done sitting in your home. And we need not carry our purse or bag all-time to take out needed money. This has definitely made our life better.

Nobody can imagine an academic life without visiting a school or college. But what's happening now? I'm attending online classes and connecting with everybody through Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp. The majority in this world is doing their work from home or WFH. Something which was considered impossible is really happening now. And this is how e-commerce and m-commerce changed my life. This is the same for everyone around us. 

Same as the benefits they have disadvantages too. As all are online, your privacy and security have no guarantee. Our personal details will be saved in the internet database, that's for sure. Online hacking, scamming and cheating are all part of this. Sometimes, we get some products that may not at all look like the ones that actually ordered. These are some problems to be aware of while being in the world of e-commerce and m-commerce.
