Digital Commerce: electronic buying and
selling of goods. Technology users need to understand that a large
share of market economy is being done electronically. Legitimate and legal
exchanges are occurring, but the buyer or seller need to be aware of the issues
associated with it. The mainstream availability of Internet purchases of toys,
clothing, cars, food, etc. has become commonplace to many users. At the same
time, an equal amount of goods and services which are in conflict with the laws
or morals of some countries are surfacing (which might include activities such
as illegal downloading, pornography, and gambling). Users need to learn
about how to be effective consumers in a new digital economy.
