From Barter System To online Shopping
The world is changing fast and so is the dynamism of economy. There was a time when no market existed and human beings used to exchange goods (known as barter system) to meet their basic needs as no single community or village could produce all those required for living. Slowly markets grew and money was introduced. But that scenario too is changing fast. Now money is again loosing its pre-eminence as medium of exchange to what is being popularized as plastic money (credit cards, ATM cards). People are also not going to the local grocery shop or super market to buy things they require. Internet has opened a whole new door or windows of opportunity to us. Our life is so busy that we hardly find time to do some household marketing. Thanks to the internet, we can now do marketing from our tables by just clicking the mouse button. From beds to mattresses, from wine to champagne – we can buy everything through internet. And there are whole new businesses developing rapidly who conduct their sales through online. Not only that. They also have home delivery facility. If you don’t feel like cooking tonight after grueling work at office and also don’t feel like going out to restaurant, just login to the net, find the local PIZZA supplier, book online and your dinner will be delivered quickly at your door step. Phew!
It has been an exciting and phenomenal change over last 2 decades and more is coming soon which will change our living style forever.
