The following texts for question number 3.
“The impacts of electronic commerce in @ developing country can be helpful rather than detrimental. Electronic
‘commerce has the potential to tie developing counties into the rest of the world so they are no longer considered
‘outsiders. For examples, electronic commerce can enable more people to access products and services that once were
rot available. Another benefit is that electronic commerce stores are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As the
5 infrastructure for electronic commerce keeps growing, services that were not offered in the past become available.
‘Many of these benefits have not been proven yet, but the technology is now avallable, and developing countries are
looking forward to these benefits. The high cost of technology may still be detrimental in many developing countries;
however, the constant innovation of software and hardware will hopefully reduce these costs.
‘Consumer in developing countries can benefit from electronic commerce because they can buy product that
10 could only be found in major cosmopolitan cities. Electronic commerce is closing the gap between the countries that
hhave wide availability of products and those with limited availability. The basic purpose of electronic commerce is to
provide goods and services to consumers who do not live close to the physical location of the product or service and
would otherwise have a hard time acquiring these products and services.
Society andconsumersalike have only begunto enjoy the benefits of electronic commerce. Since new developments
15 aremade on a continuous bass, it will eventually affect every individual. Some of the benefits enjoyed by society and
consumers, for example, are ease of transaction, comparability of products, quick delivery and the ability to make any
‘type of transaction at any given time of day.
Electronic commerce facilitates delivery of public and social services, such s healthcare, education and distribution
of government social services at a reduced cost, improving the quality of care and living in these communities. For
20 example, healthcare services can reach patients in rural reas.
