The world business and trade have become very fast, easier and more reliable because of the development and improvement of technology. You can now do business with a person who is very far from you without any difficulties. It has become easier to book railway tickets, bus tickets and even flights at the comfort of your home without having to move. The introduction of ATMs has made it very possible to withdraw money at anytime of the day. Also it has become easy to advertise through the internet and thereby promoting the business in a faster way. Banks now fill data in the computer instead of doing it manually as they used to do in the old days. This makes it easier to find the name of the customer, address, email address, birth date, phone numbers and even the location. Also the clients can get a very quick access at their account balances by logging into the bank's website. With the rise of computer technology, credit cards and other plastic money, it is very useful especially when one does not have cash at hand or when one is ordering online products. Communication between partners has been made easier, for example, the internet has brought email and chatting facilities. Instead of sending letters to respective destinations, it is very easy to send an email to many people at the same time.
