impact of the internet on business

   The internet has a huge impact on business these days. A lot of businesses have opened up and function because of the internet. Some businesses were ruined because of the internet. Places like borders where they sell books are not as popular anymore since books are online now. Amazon.com took a huge chunk of business because its so easy for people to just order books online instead of buying them in a store like borders. The kindle and the ipad also allow people to have whatever book they want in front of them right away on a small conveniant pad.

   There is no doubt in my mind that the internet plays a role in the bankruptcy of borders. I know so many people who use the internet to get books and the book store is just out dated now. Although the internet isn't all bad for business because it creates jobs and helps companies to function more efficiently. There are a lot of jobs now that didnt even use to exist before the internet and even ones that involve using facebook and twitter. The internet is also helpful for advertising since so many people will see the ad and help bring in profit.
