Comparing Galaxy S7 to iPhone 6S
Samsung Galaxy S7 : 5.1-inch Super AMOLED, 2,560 x 1,440, 577ppi
iPhone 6S : 4.7-inch IPS LCD, 1334 x 750, 326ppi, 3D Touch
The Samsung Galaxy S7's display is very similar indeed to the S6's. This means that once
again it is radically sharper than the iPhone 6S's screen, and once again displays deeper
blacks thanks to its Super AMOLED tech.
For those that don't know, AMOLED screens display deeper and richer blacks by electrically
charging each individual pixel when generating colours, letting them create blacks simply by
turning off the relevant pixels. LCD technology lights up all pixels, even when they're
displaying black, making for a slightly washed out grey look. This means that the Galaxy S7,
like the S6, has a more vibrant and sharp display than the iPhone 6S.
Of course, some will argue that AMOLED screens tend to be oversaturated, making films and
pictures look false and other worldly. But Samsung, as always, offers a number of screen
tone options so that you can attain a more naturalistic picture if you so wish.

That Galaxy S7 screen also has a cool new always-on feature. The feature is a low power
screen mode that activates when the phone is put to sleep. It offers peek views of incoming
notifications and alerts from certain services, meaning you can check who's messaged you
without having to fully power up the display.
However, we felt that this always-on feature was a little half-baked, with limited
functionality and poor app support. It's a nice idea, but it isn't truly useful yet.
The Galaxy S7's screen also doesn't feature a competitor to Apple’s 3D Touch tech. 3D Touch
is a nifty feature that lets the iPhone's screen detect varying amounts of pressure. It can be
used to enact a variety of tasks, like previewing emails and websites. For iPhone 6S owners
familiar with 3D Touch, the lack of an equivalent feature on the Galaxy S7 could be a sticking
point.
WRITING TASK-1
After reading the review of two mobile phones above, please compare the differences of
Samsung S7 and iPhone 6S using the comparative degree using positive, comparative and
superlative degree that you can find in the text.

UNIT -2
E-Commerce (Electronic Commerce or EC)
E-commerce (electronic commerce or EC) is the buying and selling of goods and
services on the Internet, especially the World Wide Web. In practice, this term and a newer
term, e-business, are often used interchangeably. For online retail selling, the term e-tailing
is sometimes used.
E-commerce can be divided into:
• E-tailing or "virtual storefronts" on Web sites with online catalogs, sometimes

gathered into a "virtual mall"
• The gathering and use of demographic data through Web contacts
• Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), the business-to-business exchange of data
• E-mail and fax and their use as media for reaching prospects and established
customers (for example, with newsletters)
• Business-to-business buying and selling
• The security of business transactions

E-tailing or The Virtual Storefront and the Virtual Mall
As a place for direct retail shopping, with its 24-hour availability, a global reach, the
ability to interact and provide custom information and ordering, and multimedia prospects,
the Web is rapidly becoming a multibillion dollar source of revenue for the world's
businesses. A number of businesses already report considerable success. As early as the
middle of 1997, Dell Computers reported orders of a million dollars a day. By early 1999,
projected e-commerce revenues for business were in the billions of dollars and the stocks of
companies deemed most adept at e-commerce were skyrocketing. Although many so-called
dotcom retailers disappeared in the economic shakeout of 2000, Web retailing at sites such
as Amazon.com, CDNow.com, and CompudataOnline.com continues to grow.
Market Research
In early 1999, it was widely recognized that because of the interactive nature of the
Internet, companies could gather data about prospects and customers in unprecedented
amounts -through site registration, questionnaires, and as part of taking orders. The issue of
whether data was being collected with the knowledge and permission of market subjects
had been raised. (Microsoft referred to its policy of data collection as "profiling" and a
proposed standard has been developed that allows Internet users to decide who can have
what personal information.)
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
EDI is the exchange of business data using an understood data format. It predates
today's Internet. EDI involves data exchange among parties that know each other well and
make arrangements for one-to-one (or point-to-point) connection, usually dial-up. EDI is
expected to be replaced by one or more standard XML formats, such as ebXML.
E-Mail, Fax, and Internet Telephony
E-commerce is also conducted through the more limited electronic forms of

communication called e-mail, facsimile or fax, and the emerging use of telephone calls over
the Internet. Most of this is business-to-business, with some companies attempting to use e-
mail and fax for unsolicited ads (usually viewed as online junk mail or spam) to consumers
and other business prospects. An increasing number of business Web sites offer e-mail
newsletters for subscribers. A new trend is opt-in e-mail in which Web users voluntarily sign
up to receive e-mail, usually sponsored or containing ads, about product categories or other
subjects they are interested in.
Business-to-Business Buying and Selling
Thousands of companies that sell products to other companies have discovered that
the Web provides not only a 24-hour-a-day showcase for their products but a quick way to
reach the right people in a company for more information.
The Security of Business Transactions
Security includes authenticating business transactors, controlling access to resources

such as Web pages for registered or selected users, encrypting communications, and, in
general, ensuring the privacy and effectiveness of transactions. Among the most widely-used
security technologies is the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which is built into both of the leading
Web browsers.

ETTIQUETE RULES IN SOCIAL NETWORK
By: Joy Weaver
Research indicates that over 51% of online users have joined a social network, while
73% are consuming some form of social content on a regular basis.
There are hundreds of social networking sites but currently the most widely used
by adults are Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. It is up to you to determine why you want to
join, and how you will use the website effectively. Do you want to use it personally or
professionally?

Professionally: In business we use social networking sites to stay in contact with, and
maintain a list of people we know in our current and past business lives. The sites can also
help us build our careers, and promote our businesses as well.
Personally: Social network websites are used as an outlet to share almost anything from
your every move, to photos, recipes, and any other personal information you want to share.
Here’s a list of etiquette tips for social networking aimed to polish the social or professional
networker.
•First, refrain from using the same social network for personal and professional use.
Set up two different profiles or accounts for these connections. Create a section on your
main profile detailing whom you are seeking to befriend.
•Complete your profile with accurate information about you and your
business. Use your real name and your own photo. Pick a screen name that represents you
and your company well. Don't call yourself "Lovebug" unless you want to be known by that
name, and your pet may be adorable, but unless you specializing in pet care, use your own
photo.
•Offer information of value. Refrain from just talking about yourself and your
company. Succinctly write interesting and timely information that will be of benefit to
others.
•Do not approach strangers and ask them to be friends in order to try to sell
them on your talents, ideas, products or services. You will quickly lose credibility.

• Don't send out requests for invitations to play online games, take personality
tests, or other timewasters for those using the site.
•Avoid putting anything on the Internet that you don't want your boss, future boss,
current client, or potential clients to read.
•If someone does not want to be your friend, accept it gracefully. They have the
right to make that decision and you must accept it.
• Never post when you are exhausted, inebriated, jet-lagged, angry, or upset.
•Do not over-post or over tweet. Your audience will become very tired of you and
your information may not be taken seriously and perhaps will even be skipped over.
Social networking gives you a voice to your audience and ears to hear what they
have to say to you… And the beautiful part is - you can do all this at your convenience!
And as we say on Twitter … Always Tweet others the way you want to be Tweeted!
PRACTISE-5
1. Mention some of social networking sites used by adults currently!
2. Are you using social network? Which type of Social network user are you according to
the text?

3. What is the professional users use the social network mostly for?
4. What do you most frequently share in social network?
5. Why shouldn’t us posting any kind of information when feeling angry or upset?

greatly used for development work like programming and playing games. It is a multi-task
laptop though comes with the issue of storage. It is so true that for programming one could
simply rely on Mac OS instead of Windows. To me, this is best laptops for programming

compelled to say that it is cool and awesome. For me, it is simply best in the business

Laptop for Programming! It is useful in many regards one being in programming and yeah a
little expensive though but worth a try. It is sleek in designing and gives it a frame of the
tablet while its keyboard to is spacious and comfortable in use. With a decent battery life
