Electronic Payment System • proximity payment system
– allows customers to transfer funds wirelessly between their mobile device and a point-of-sale terminal
• Electronic cash (e-cash or digital cash) – Provides a private and secure method of transferring funds from
a bank account or credit card to online vendors or individuals
– PayPal • Best-known e-cash provider
• E-cash benefits – Privacy - hides account information from vendors
– Convenient if seller cannot process a credit card
• Smartcards – Credit cards with embedded microchips that can store and
process data and can be used as electronic wallets

Food
Media
M-Commerce Future
Likely to succeed if
Internet speeds are increased
Text input becomes more convenient
e.g. Voice activated
Security concerns are addressed
Payment systems become more convenient
Younger generation most likely to adapt
As proliferation of people (farmers) becomes
exposed to Internet and Web access.
They believed it… (Schoemaker, 1995)
Thomas J. Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943
“I think there is a world market for about five computers”
Ken Olson, President, Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977
“There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home”
The best way to predict the
future is to invest it
