that the individuals were not communicating effectively with the other person and that was
not a perfect kind communication. There were different kind of issues faced by the
individuals in the society in that era and it created huge issues in the process of

However, with the emergence of the internet and other mobile devices, the penetration
has increased to a huge extent and this has helped in changing the entire process of
communication among the individuals in the society (Martin 2017). It was seen that the face
of the entire communication has changed drastically and the communication face has changed
beyond recognition and in a positive manner. Internet is not just regarded as the tool to
communicate with the different individuals, however it is the essential tool for convincing the
individuals that has made huge difference in the fast-changing circumstances in the modern

selling a comb to the customer who is bald and it is providing the customer false hope that
this will be reducing after the usage of the comb as well. These kinds of activities are taking
place everywhere and this is insane in nature as well (Webster 2014).
There are different kind of risks and threats associated with the usage of the e-
technologies. While discussing about the e-technology or the introduction of the e-commerce
technologies, the first issue is relating to the privacy of the consumers and this will create
huge issues in the behaviour patterns of the consumers as well. It has been seen that the
different activities performed by the customers on the internet sites are their behaviour and
the behaviour of the customers that is recorded in nature relating to the products and services
is the exploitation level (Avgerou and Walsham 2017).
However, it is known that the data are recorded by the companies on the internet is
accordance to the different kind of products and services according to the tastes and
preferences, however there are times when the different essential kind of data are lost and this
causes huge disruption in the trust of the consumers on the internet technologies (Graedel et
al. 2015). It has been seen that there are times when the different kind of important data that
has been shared by the companies are not having any kind of window of security as well. The
digital kind of identity is under risk and this causes huge issues for the security of the
individuals as well in the market.

are only available for a specific amount of time and this can create issues for the individuals

It can be seen that the different e-technology providers keep on updating the features
and there are new additional features that are listed on the websites. These can create loss of
privacy of data in the systems and this can lead to data theft as well in the organization. The
security providers do not take proper care of the different kind of essential data and
information of the individuals effectively as this will create issues in the security of the data
as well. These kinds of issues can affect the security and privacy of the data of the different
individuals and this will create privacy issues in the details of the different data and this will
cause negative impact on the trust of the individuals as well (Penttinen 2015).

nature as this will help in understanding the different difficulties and this can lose control and
strive for it in a continuous manner as well. Proper supplier relationship is required to be

et al. 2015).
With the emergence of the online markets in the competitive market, it has been seen
that the offline markets are not able to cope with the different issues and they do not5 have
such kind of implementation of the information technologies in their shops as well. The
offline stores have traditional kind of organizational structure that will create huge threats to

The suppliers of the offline stores need to build their organizational structure in such a
manner wherein they will help them in competing with the online stores. The implementation
of the technological advancements will help the company in understanding the requirements
of the customers and proper technological advancements by introducing the different kind of
customer delivery system and introducing sales on different kind of items as well. These
