E-Greetings
An e-greeting is just like a paper greeting card. The only difference is that it is created with
hard copy, e-greeting is in
the help of digital text and effects. While paper greeting card is in
soft copy. This means that you can see an e-greeting on your monitor but you cannot touch it.
The animation effects and music along with still images and text makes an e-greeting look awesome.
Some of the popular e-greetings websites are www.123greetings.com, www.e-cards.com, etc.

The first e-greeting card website was created by Judith Donath in December 1994. It was
named the Electric Postcard. It was started with 10–20 e-cards a day and reached 19,000
e-cards a day in December 1995.
E-Banking
The technology has paced many steps. We can now transfer money online from one bank account
to another. In earlier days, cheques were used to transfer money. It took 2–3 days for the clearance
of cheques. If cheques were spoiled, mutilated and lost then the transfer took more time as a fresh
cheque was required again. With e-banking, you can transfer funds easily from one account to
another through computer, laptop and even your smartphone.
ATM facility is also a part of e-banking where you can withdraw cash from any of the ATM machines
and the amount will be debited from your bank account automatically.
E-banking is useful for bankers as well as customers. The bankers are benefited by way of:
Less transaction cost Less chances of human error
Reduction in fixed infrastructure cost Customer loyalty and satisfaction
Reduced paper work
The customers are benefited by way of:
Convenience of banking No geographical restrictions
Lower costs Reduced chances of fraud
