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.

            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 which are very expensive to
               purchase.
            Some  popular companies  offering cloud storage services  are  Google  Drive,  Amazon Web

            Services, Dropbox, OneDrive, etc.
