Mobile Commerce

Do you think it is important for us here in Canada? Would peer-to-peer or business-to-business commerce via mobile devices be successful?


 * Response**: I definitely think it is important for us in Canada to be able able to business related applications via our smart phones. I believe smart phones are the way of the future and making life and business more easier would free up time to do more important things for ourselves or our businesses. Although there seems to be the issue with privacy these days and phones are new so there is concern. However blackberries have shown to have the full front of protecting data and wiping handheld device's information.

I agree with Natalia. It is certainly important for us here in Canada as so many aspects of our economy are propelling more and more everyday. M-Commerce is just another adaptation to making life easier, simpler, and quicker. Though security is always an issue, people always seem to forgo the notion of it or learn to accept it. For example, online bankers used to be so skeptical (including myself) of doing their banking on a wireless network and would only perform their online financial activities on their home computer on a secured private network. Now, I see people paying their bills on the wireless Sheridan connection during class! It all essentially boils down to a matter of time and adapting to whatever technology that will result in making life more convenient and accessible. user:StephChan
