E- everyhting?

Internet makes human lifestyle become easier. Nowadays, in such a high technology period, we can search everything with just a few clicks. Getting bored hearing everyone talking about e-This and e-That? The word ‘e’ really makes a big change for the world because everything connects with ‘e’, for instance e-banking, e-booking, e-shopping, to e-ticketing and many more. Nelson’s (2000) make a prediction in his article, which entitle The Next Generation Internet, E-business, and E-everything, where it is talking about the internet usage.

E-payment can be said as the most useful among the e-s because it can make out payment with just a few clicks. Almost every company that own website will have their own slot for e-payment because people no longer drives to certain places for purpose to settle down bill,. E-payment can settle bills like banking bills and online business. E-payment makes life convenient because it can save times and all settlements can be done with only a few clicks.

Even though how e-payment, e-booking, e-shopping and whatever e-s need to have a good and proper segmentation and frames in order to distinct the different section with other contains and it will make website look more organise and user-friendly (Walsh 2006). According to Berkner and Schwartz (2003), website must be a clean looking and user-friendly.

Therefore, technology has makes the human life easier and saves time for modern people. Without the Internet, it wills costs more time and energy for us to search for information by using computer with a single click. In my opinion, technology has bring us more benefits than harm especially modern people in the world, where we need to connect with people around the world by using recent technology.
