Though browsing the Internet and shopping online may seem to our technology-driven world like a phenomenon that is familiar and comfortable, as if it has always been this way, e-commerce actually has a very recent history.

Since 1991, what is now well known as e-commerce has greatly improved the ease of buying and selling products through the fantastic connectivity of the Internet.
