E-Greetings
An e-greeting is like a paper greeting
card, but it is made using digital text and
effects. Unlike a paper card, which you can
hold in your hand, an e-greeting is a digital
file that you can see on your computer or
smartphone but cannot touch. You can
send e-greetings through email anytime,
which helps save paper and trees. They
often include animations, music, pictures,
and text, making them fun to look at.
Some popular e-greeting websites include
www.123greetings.com, www.e-cards.com,
and so on. E-greetings
To view an e-greeting, the sender sends a link to the recipient. The recipient simply clicks on the
link to see the e-greeting in their web browser.

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
Technology has improved a lot over the years. Now, you can easily transfer money online from one
bank account to another. In the past, if cheques were damaged, lost, or torn, it took a long time
to fix the problem because a new cheque had to be written. With online banking, you can quickly
transfer money using a computer, laptop, or smartphone. It’s simple and saves a lot of time!
ATM services are also part of e-banking, allowing you to withdraw cash from any ATM, and the
amount will be debited from your bank account automatically.
E-banking benefits both bankers and customers in several ways:
For bankers:
Lower transaction costs Fewer chances of human error
Reduced fixed infrastructure costs Increased customer loyalty and satisfaction
Less paperwork
For customers:
Convenient banking No geographical limitations
Lower costs Reduced risk of fraud
