I speculate he meant the efficiency(or inefficiency in this case) of our transportation network.

Added on November 9, 2009, 5:39 pmPersonally I felt the term 'e-commerce' was too general. Although our natural inclination is to think of e-commerce as an online shop that sells physical wares that are then physically transported to our doorstep, this is not always the case when it comes to computing technology. Examples of these are books(e-books), softwares etc.

The motivation of getting them from an 'e-tailer' can be very different from say a typical Amazon service(that sells you something real). Hence how I might react to the lack of human interaction may differ based on what I'm actually buying.

Also I do agree on the poster above simply because I feel the infrastructure isn't out there to encourage e-commerce here(and a lack of benefits to encourage more people to use the internet for buying something -> just look at the recent government decision to charge credit card users).

This particular question, I'm not sure what you meant here. Try to make things clearer and more simple to understand.

Also



You are trying to gauge whether people trust e-commerce sites. This to me is akin to asking me whether I trust in human beings. It's different if you ask me whether I trust Ali, Ah Chong or Muthu in which case I have my own opinion on each them. I can't generalised all human beings into being untrustworthy or what not. I hope you get what I meant.
