In 1979 a man by the name of Michael Aldrich invented online shopping and made it oh too easy for that woman to purchase those fantastic Prada heels or for that guy -going through a midlife crisis and cruising the net for a cure- to purchase that "flaming hot rod". Now decades later in the year 2010
US e-Commerce and On line retail sales are noted as having "projected to reach $173 billion" (Wikipedia, 2010).
E-commerce, or 'E-cash' as I like to call it, is just one of the many manifestations of cyber-culture. It is a different way to "buy buy buy" and "sell sell sell" without the messy rivalry that comes with being in 'the pit' (stock exchange venues) and a way in which any user can manage their own investments without having to hire a 'middle-man'.
Advertisements on the internet suggest you make the most of this tool by using it to "grow your business" or "e-conomise", phrases of which are seductive and cast a positive glow on trading your money through a network of computing devices and Internet connections and cross-overs.
