Web Arguement

I am doing my web arguement on e-commerce. How has E-Commerce affected the traditional way of business prior to its presence? I think that e-com has greatly helped out a lot of business's acrossed the world. They are able to sell a lot of products faster. They can even sell their services over the internet. Any company, and products, and services can be sold over the internet. There is a market avaliable for everyone online. Any products that people either want or need are bought over the internet. It is a great place to do buinsess and it is very cost efficent. How much does it cost to lease a store front and try and run a store out of it? And, what happens if you don't sell your products or services? Then you go out of business and lose money. Now on the otherhand, how much does it cost to run a type of ecommerce business? Not very much.

My Most Recent Argument

The most recent argument that I had was with a friend of mine. He didn't have any money and was asking me to spot him some cash. I was asking him why this always happens when he has a full time job making more money then I did. He told me that he has money but he already used his debit card more than three times today. I was like so what? Use your card again. He told me that all debit cards will not work after using them three times in twenty four hours. I told him that he was wrong because sometimes I use mine more than ten times in a day. He was telling me that I was crazy that no company allows a card to use more than three purchases in a twenty four hour period. So, to settle the argument me and him went to four gas stations and I made small purchases at each one. After I made a purchase at the third one, the fourth purchase still worked. So, I proved that I was right. The funny thing was, like a day later he challanged me again with a similar situation. We were talking about like bailing someone out of jail and he said he would just go pull 500 bucks out of the atm and I always thought you can only take out 300 dollars a day. I guess we will have to settle that one soon.

Reflection on Multimodal

This blog is to talk about what I have done on my multimodal webpage. I enjoyed doing this project because I have learned alot about buying and selling things online. I have learned through this research that most people out there prefer to buy things on the computer rather than going to a store. The market of the internet is a multi billion dollar industry. Some people take advantage of this market and are able to make a living from their home computer. Other people that buy things also take advantage of this technology. Those people go online and find the best deal or that certain product that they couldnt find anywhere else. I think that I had a lot of good current, and reliable sources for this project. Most of my sources were journal articles, and I only used one webpage. This topic that I choose is probably pretty interesting to whoever reads it. It is about using the technology of the internet, and whoever is reading this article is also using the technology of the internet. I think that I had more time on this project to get more things accomplished then I did on the last hypertext essay. They hypertext essay was a good introduction into starting this project but, this time we had a little more time for the desgin aspects of the page. I think my pages look much nicer because of the extra time I was able to spend on DreamWeaver, and I am much happier with this Multimodal project.
