Identify 3 ways in which the internet has changed the nature of work, interpliers/business practices.?

this is supposed to be my IST homework but i really can%26#039;t think of anything much excpet for two answers..which i think everybody in my class would have too.





thanks for helping though.|||-Speeded communications


-Created cheap access to a global market place


-Created a venue for individualized marketing (targeted ads)


-Increased a company%26#039;s ability to collect customer intelligence (information about the habits of its customers).


-Eliminated hundreds of thousands of tons of paper waste each year


-The ability to inform a customer about products, then sell those products with little or no human intervention (make more money, spend less to do it)


-Tools like %26quot;babelfish.altavista.com%26quot; have minimized the difficulties of language working with international businesses.


-Improved the ability to network and collaborate with co-workers and technical communities


-Created a means of direct interaction with customers for understanding thier needs and wants, and addressing thier problems. (Company blogs and discussion forums, Dell and Apple are good examples).


-Quick access to reference materials on different methods, processes, and formulas critical to successful business operation.








The list goes on and on, hope that helps.|||It would make it a lot easier if you would list the two answers you have come up with. Would cut down on a lot of repeat answers you know about already.
