2. Introduction
● Technology affects almost every aspect of our
lives.But as much as our personal lives have
changed, the business world has revolutionized
almost beyond recognition in the past few decades.
Technology has changed the face and the pace of
business.
● So, exactly how has technology changed the way
we do business? In countless ways, but we'll
highlight the major ones on the next page.

3. Effects of Technology on Business
(1)
● Businesses have been at the forefront of
technology for ages. As computers emerged in the
20th century, they promised a new age of
information technology. But in order to reap the
benefits, businesses needed to adapt and change
their infrastructure.
● Now, most business is conducted over personal
computers or communication devices. Computers
offer companies a way to organize dense
databases, personal schedules and various other
forms of essential information.

4. Effects of Technology on Business
(2)
● Some businesses have even begun to use RFID
chip implants in humans to tighten security. An
access control reader detects the chip's signal and
permits the employee access to the door.
● Handheld devices like BlackBerries have become
wildly popular for businesses because they let
users check and send email from anywhere, and
browse the Internet.

5. Internet Business(1)
● The Internet allows any company to sell any
product online. In general, the Internet has proven
to be an inexpensive way to reach more
customers.
● Many businesses have succeeded in using the
Internet as their primary, or sometimes only,
medium.
● Small businesses, too, have become easier to start
up using the Internet.

6. Internet Business(2)
●One of the biggest ways the Internet has changed
business is through targeted advertising. Using
Google, companies can specify the keywords that
will drive certain customers to their ad.
●For instance, if you were to plug the word "baking"
into Google, you might click on a page from
epicurious.com. That epicurious page will have
Google ads from sponsors who sell baking-related
products.

7. Conclusion
● Technology affects almost every aspect of
our lives.
● The business world has revolutionized
almost beyond recognition in the past few
decades.
● As communication and information travels
faster and faster, the world seems smaller
and smaller, and this has large implications
for the way we conduct business.
