                 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 or lost, then the transfer would take
                 more time as a fresh cheque would be 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

                 Cloud Storage

                 Cloud storage is a service where the users are able to store and manage data on remote server
                 in place of their local computer. This service has become immensely popular because:
                    The users need to incur cost of storage devices. They can access storage on remote servers

                    by paying a nominal fee only.
                    The users can access their data from anywhere by logging in to their cloud storage account.

                    The users can also access software and application for limited use that are very expensive to
                    purchase.
                 Some  popular companies  offering cloud storage services  are  Google  Drive,  Amazon Web

                 Services, Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc.
