    While the Internet helps people feel connected with friends, family and even a foreign people from the other side of the world, the word “connect” has lost its value ever since social networking came to place. Society no longer has the same quality of communication and social skills. For example, when we say that one has meant people all over the world through a networking site does not mean he/she have the same qualifications of someone who has traveled the world. One must have actual life experience with people in order to gather wisdom.…

    Exchange is a basic marketing concept that refers to the act of obtaining a desired object from someone by offering something in return. When consumers purchase a product, they are exchanging money for desired goods or services. Technical Context Two important developments are shaping online consumer behavior today – home connection speeds and the changing landscape of digital receiving devices such as cell phones. Online speeds and the type of equipment used to access the Internet determine whether a consumer accesses high or low graphic Web sites. Telematics is a communication system in an automobile that uses a global positioning system (GPS) for interactive communication between firms and drivers. Social and Cultural Contexts The Web is training consumers to help themselves to almost anything they want when and where they please. Some of the social/cultural trends that are affecting online exchanges are: Information overload, time poverty, home and work, I want what I want when I want it, online oxygen, self-service, sophisticated consumer, privacy and data security, and online crime. Legal Context In spite of piracy laws, illegally used software abounds. In spite of the new CanSpam law, the number of unsolicited e-mails has actually increased. However, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) sued thousands of illegal music file downloaders and had a significant affect on online consumer behavior. Individual Characteristics and…
