Class has seemed a little bit long and strenuous to me lately, not because Dr. Tuggle's teaching has become any different or less passionate, but perhaps because as the semester hit the halfway point, all professors have been expecting more: more papers, more tests, more homework. If I seem a little bit dazed and confused it's only because my brain is stretching to it's limits. God I need a vacation!
Luckily for me, there was one concept that seemed to just jump out at me during last Thursday's lecture: E-Business. Gone are the days when I have to drag my lazy butt off the couch to buy a new dress or pair of shoes for a special occasion. No need to leave the living room or the marathon of House reruns, because with the invention of the internet came online purchasing and selling. Not that shopping online is a new concept. I remember one of my best friends in junior high had Prodigy at home. Now I know not a lot of people remember this online service, but I certainly remember Trish showing me how she could shop the JC Penny's catalog from her parents office computer in her own house!
E-Business, I believe, is crucial in this day and time. What with the skyhigh gas prices as well as the overpopulation of many cities. Just point and click, and anything you want will be delivered to your home within a matter of days. Easy? Yes. Efficient? You bet. Now if only the numbers to customer service actually could connect you to a real live person instead of a voice activated message system. :)
