                 shopping  to  transferring money,  promoting  products,  collecting  information,  etc.  Internet has
                 transformed our lives and made us more digitized.


                 Advantages of Internet

                 help people to connect to each other all around the world. Using these services, organisations
                 can exchange information and conduct meetings with their employees which are located at the
                 different places.


                 Promoting Business
                 Internet  also  helps  companies  to  promote  their  products  online  through  websites  and  social
                 networking sites. It allows users to sell their products online.
