E-Commerce
From the name, we can already guess that this is related to the activities of a
commercial. No one did, because the term e-commerce that we will discuss this
indeed refers to commercial activities on the internet. The most common examples of
e-commerce activities, of course, is the activity of trade transactions by means of
Internet. By utilizing e-commerce, the vendors (merchants) can peddle
products across the country because it is the nature of the Internet itself does not know
geographic boundaries. Transactions can take place in real time from anywhere in the corner
world as long as connected in the internet network.
Generally transactions through e-commerce is conducted by means of a web site
which in this case serves as a kind of showcase for the product being peddled. From
This web site, the buyer (customer) can see the shapes and product specifications
complete the relevant price is pegged. Next, if the prospective buyer
interested, then he can make purchases at these sites by means of
credit card. Unlike credit card transactions in general use
special equipment, credit card transactions on the Internet simply done by inserting
credit card number and expiration time in the form provided. In the next stage, the program in e-commerce server will verify
credit card number is entered. If the card number entered is valid then
transaction is considered legitimate and goods ordered will be delivered to the buyer's address.
Previous course when filling out order forms, prospective buyers have to fill
complete address where the goods to be bought must be delivered. Prices of goods
purchased and will be included in the collection account from credit card
used.
E-commerce activity is not solely revolve around the trading business. If
we diligently explore the web sites, we can find a variety of business and in essence,
trying to rake in profits from the Internet access traffic. Take for example the auction site
online at www.ebay.com such a popular, well site services provider, citing
pay for the netters who wish to use their services. Also do not miss these sites
adult. Even for the latter are those touted as
pioneer of e-commerce business.
As with conventional business activities, advertising also plays an important role
in e-commerce. The web site administrators get a lot of revenue from advertising
which aired on the web site currently managed (usually in the form of banner ads or
popup window). Just look at Yahoo or the AFP as an example in which each
pages are always packed by the banner ads that stand out eyes. Naturally, because of
That's where care financing sources (plus source of profit) they belong.
But with the increasing number of web sites that appear also means that increasingly tight
competition. Encompass the ad on a web site of course not easy. The
generally only interested advertisers put their ads on sites with traffic
high traffic. That means the managers have to try fishing sites
as many visitors to their sites. The trick, of course, by displaying the
diverse content so that visitors can stand for long on his site - thanks, gratitude
if they will return again in the following opportunity or better yet if
to become loyal visitors. Unfortunately invite visitors in this way obviously takes effort and cost
not a few, while the effectiveness of banner ads on its own website
actually still in doubt. The web site visitors generally come with a purpose
to search for information so most likely not have time to look into the banner
are displayed on the website in question. Rather than pay attention, the
visitors often even bothered with a banner ad on a
web pages. As a result many web sites that are not able to finance its operations
because revenue from advertising was not able to offset the amount of capital
disbursed. That's why some of these last time we saw a lot of web sites
commercial (known as 'DotCom') is falling
E-Banking
Electronic Banking, or e-banking can be defined as a banking activity on the internet.
This service allows customers of a bank can do almost any type
banking transactions by means of the Internet, especially via the web. Similar to
the use of ATM machines, via the Internet means a customer can perform
checking account activity, transfer funds between accounts, to pay bills
routine monthly (electricity, telephone, etc..) through his bank account. Clearly many
customer benefits that can be obtained by utilizing this service, particularly
when viewed from the time and energy can be saved as e-banking transactions clearly
free queue and can be done from anywhere along the customers to connect
with the Internet network.
To be able to use this service, a customer will be provided with a login and
access codes to websites where there are e-banking facilities owned by the bank concerned.
Furthermore, customers can log in and perform banking activities through
the relevant bank website.
E-banking is not new stuff on the internet, but in Indonesia itself, the new
popularity in recent years applied by some banks on board.
It is said that this is related to the security of customers who would be a major concern
of bank managers in addition to infrastructure issues concerned bank. Security is indeed a major issue in e-banking because, as activity
others on the internet, banking transactions on the Internet also vulnerable to surveillance and
abuse by the hands of irresponsible. An e-banking site
required to use strict security standards to
ensure that every service they provide is only used by those
which is actually entitled. One security technique that is often dugunakan
in e-banking is through SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol or through
HTTPS (Secure HTTP).
E-Government
This term just sounds a few times lately, along with the rise of
utilization of Internet technologies in the field of governance. Although the name e-governmet,
but do not imagine this is a government system that fully
Internet-based. E-government, especially in Indonesia, is still interpreted narrowly
as a system on the internet (either web, contact email address, or mailing lists) that
exploiting the potential in a region with the intention to invite the parties
may be able to provide benefits for the regions concerned, whether it's as
investors or tourists.
If we look to local government sites in Indonesia, which claimed
as "e-government", is actually no different than the display window data
statistically, the potential for tourism, and natural wealth of a region, and not miss too
opportunity (read: invitations) for investors to invest their capital in region
concerned. Content relating to the administration (government) own
even not getting enough attention.
This is probably only a matter of terminology, but it's quite annoying as well, particularly
when compared with other electronic activity on the internet that is truly
refers to the name. However, hopefully we're heading
toward more advanced in terms of utilization of the Internet for the purpose of government
so that future e-government slogans are actually applied in full and
rather than merely as "window dressing" such as potential areas which we are now witnessing. One example implementation of e-Government in real terms can be found at
our neighboring country, Singapore. For the implementation of e-Governement in his country,
Singapore government has run an ambitious project called eGAP (Electronic
Government Action Plan). The project, every step of sucking a budget of U.S. $
743 million is aimed at bringing public services online in the country
them.
The first phase of this project has successfully built an online public service in 1600.
This service not only inform, but also able to conduct transactions
Such booking sports facilities, register companies, create a new passport
and so forth. This program has succeeded in making 75 percent of Singaporeans
start communicating with them online via the internet bureaucracy. In the project eGAP
phase II, which began in 2003, the government expects the island nation
90 percent of its citizens to communicate online in 2006 later.
e-Learning
The term e-Learning can be defined as a form of application of technology
information in the field of education in the form of virtual schools. Own definitions of e-Learning
actually very large, even a portal of information about a topic (such as
as this site) may also be included in this e-Learning. But the term e-Learning
more appropriately addressed in an effort to create a transformation of the teaching-learning process
at school in digital form that bridged by the Internet technology.
In e-Learning technologies, all teaching-learning process is commonly encountered in
a classroom, virtual, live yet, means in the same time,
a teacher teaching in front of a computer that is in one place, while
the students follow the lessons from other computers in different places.
In this case, direct teachers and students do not communicate with each other, but
they indirectly interact at the same time. All teaching and learning process is only performed in front of a computer
connect to the Internet network, and all the usual facilities available in a
schools can be replaced only by the menu functions are displayed on the screen
computer monitor. Subject matter can be obtained directly in the form
files that can be downloaded, while the interaction between teachers and students in the form
administration tasks can be done more intensively in the form of discussion forums and
email.
Use of e-Learning brought several advantages, including in terms of
with reduced financial costs required to implement
system as a whole when compared with the costs required for
school building and all the supporters, including
faculty. In terms of students, the cost required to follow school
conventional, such as transportation, purchasing books, and so forth can be reduced,
but instead required the cost of Internet access. From the organizers, the cost of
procurement of e-Learning itself can be reduced, besides the number of learners who can
accommodated far more than can be handled by conventional methods in the conditions
wider geographical.
However, behind all the advantages offered, the application of e-Learning, particularly in
Indonesia still had the problem, among others, the limitations of internet access and
lack of public understanding of the technology the internet. e-Learning is also less
suitable for use in elementary and secondary education levels, particularly because
socialization problems. As we know, the purpose of teaching and learning activities in schools
not only to gain knowledge, but also train the child to
socialize with peers and the environment outside the home. This sort of thing
can not be found in the virtual school via e-Learning. In addition, the learning system
very long distance requires independence, so it is more suitable to be applied to
higher education institutions and courses.
*** In addition to some of the samples above, we will see more "ee" other
on the intenet as a consequence of the increasing number of real-world activities
can be transferred in electronic form on the internet. However, we would
all agree that not all human activity can be transformed into
electronic form. Humans are essentially social beings, and therefore have
instinct to socialize normally. Socialization needs of this kind can only
be satisfied through interaction with humanity, not through electronic devices,
no matter how advanced the level of technological development that has been achieved
