Almost all sector in human life needs technology to help human life, starting from shopping, studying, information, data processing, social life, photography, business, and so on.
Nowadays, not only technology sector that grows, but also business sector. Technology and business grow up together. Technology and business are interconnected each other. Technology and business are interplaying each other. Both of them are very useful for human life, that is why human always try to improve both sector, technology, and business.

But it is totally different with today. Nowadays the purchaser doesn’t need to go to the market or shop to buy anything they want. They can stay at their home and buy anything they want through an online shop. The seller also doesn’t need to stay at their shop along the day. The seller still can do their activities and trade their product at the same time. Online business such as online shop is really effective. Therefore, many people change over from offline business into an online business.
