Christmas

It happens earlier and earlier every year, what am i talking about the Christmas fuss. We celebrate it at the same time every year but the excitement and joy it brings to people is becoming a much sooner occurance year on year. We all recognise it to be Christmas when we witness the first christmas advertisement, hear the first christmas song on our radio or in some cases lay our eyes on a snow flake. But is it me or is that Christmas fuss coming earlier and earlier every year. Just beginning the last week in November 2009 and the Christmas lights are switched on in the town of Dundalk. And during this week our much loved radio stations begin to select the tunes, the much loved Fairytale of New York or Santa and Jingle Bells are mentioned. It is a wonder that come upon my mind every year, will we get to the stage where it is going to be Christmas every day???? Going on the current trends of Christmas coming earlier and earlier each year, that famous song by Wizzard will some day be true.

Mobile Commerce

Years ago, the Internet enabled transactions anywhere, anytime. Nowadays people expect more—they want transactions anywhere, anytime, over any device. And they want it to work reliably and quickly. Mobile commerce is basically people being able to access and use the internet to purchase goods and services and also for transmitting messages using wireless mobile devices. Mobile commerce allows those people on the go, to send and receive emails and conduct various transactions. Mobile commerce first took off in the 20th century but it has developed increasingly since then and is fast becoming the way in which the world operates today. Wifi and bluetooth allow people to connect to networks while on the go and without the need for plugging in and wiring a computer. Mobile commerce is growing fast in the world today helped by the increased use of mobile phone, PDA's and laptop computer. Today, mobile commerce is dominated by small value transactions such as ringtone, game and movie purchases. But we all know that in the worlds economies this technological brainwave is just taking off and will soon become the worlds greatest asset.
