E-Greetings
An e-greeting is just like a paper greeting card. The only
difference is that it is created with the help of digital text
and effects. While paper greeting card is in hard copy,
e-greeting 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,
E-Greetings
www.egreetings.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 effortlessly 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 or 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. Different
types of E-banking are: Online Banking, Mobile Banking, ATM Banking, Direct Deposit, Electronic
Fund Transfer (EFT), Electronic Bill Payment and Online Investing.
ATM facility is also a part of e-banking where you can withdraw cash from the ATM machines and
the amount will be debited from your bank account automatically. Following are the features of
E-banking:
Account Management Fund transfer
Bill payment Online statements and alerts
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
