4.  In e-Shopping a buyer can just learn about the product (by viewing on the screen or by reading about
                    its description) but in traditional shopping one can touch, feel and judge about the product in a shop
                    at the time of purchasing.
                 5.  In e-Shopping sometimes the user can buy product directly at the factory price but in traditional
                    shopping the product reaches the buyer through several channels, which results in the increase of the
                    price of product.

                 Many companies have their own web sites in which the customers can do online or e-Shopping; else there
                 are other web sites like, amazon.com, rediff.com, flipkart.com, myntra.com, etc. which provides online
                 shopping facility.

                 e-Reservation

                 Reservation means to purchase rights for the usage of a facility or some service for a specified and limited
                 period of time i.e., to reserve a right temporarily.
                 When one purchases such rights for any location or for occupancy of a seat for traveling to any corner of

                 the world through Internet, it is called online reservation or ‘e-Reservation’ or ‘e-Booking’.























                 Internet has proved to be of great help for travellers as railway tickets, airline tickets, etc. can be booked at
                 any point of time from any corner of the world (where Internet connection is available). Through Internet,
                 there is facility to reserve tickets in railways and airlines (or even book rooms at hotels) without standing
                 in a queue in railway reservation counter or at the airport, irrespective of locations.

                 A person has to simply open the web site of the service provider and make the reservation. It helps to
                 make the reservation for any type of occupancy very easily as it instantly informs about the latest status

                 of availability of occupancy after updating the information.
