Technology moves fast these days - almost 20% of what we do at work could possibly become obsolete thanks to automation. So what does it take to stay ahead?
Today, robots are already pretty good at simple, commonplace tasks, like data collecting and processing. As it stands, nearly 50% of employer say that automaton could lead to a reduction of their workforce as soon as 2020 - but robots can’t do everything. Not all experts agree on the impact that automation could have and one study suggested that only less than 5% of occupations can become fully automated. Instead, restructuring of jobs, rather than outright replacement, is a more likely outcome of automation.

Electronic shopping was introduced back in 1979 when English inventor Michael Aldrich connected a modified TV to a transaction-processing computer via telephone line and opened the information systems for secure data transmission. This technology became the foundation on which the eCommerce as we know it was built.
Today, eCommerce is used on a daily basis and living without it seems just complicated and inconvenient. The new technologies and innovations are continuously changing and exponentially improving the user experience and safety which, on the other hand, results in staggering eCommerce growth.
In fact, by the end of 2018, the global eCommerce sales will reach approximately $2.8 trillion and in 2021 they will hit $4.5 trillion. With eCommerce evolving at a rapid pace, it can be hard to keep up with the latest trends.
