                 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.

                     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-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.

                    Less transaction cost                                   Less chances of human error
