Stop whining about dangerous online shopping or should I say cellphone shopping?

After 5 years of net-shopping people still keep warning me not to put too much trust in the electronic commerce. Even my own family. Their warnings won't keep my fingers off the keyboard. Yes, I've read about all the scary stories about the e-frauds and still here I go. I'm damn sure that I still will face the afternoon sun and breath the fresh air

It is a bit naive to paint the net-shoppers in black and white, people claims that one of the primary reason for the ”slow” uptake of ecommerce on the user's side has been the myth surrounding the security of online transactions. The few examples where security has been breached have been irrationally hyped in the media. The truth is that cyberspace transactions are more secure than the physical world. It's more likely to get robbed in the streets.

So when I ask people, noone has ever experienced the e-fraud phenomena, so why bother? Instead ask yourself, what net-shopping-behaviour means in the long run. More business, opening up better business opportunities, especially for middle-range and small companies. More jobs, more transactions. But new transaction technologies are already here to stay – through the cellphone.

As far as I can see there are no limits on this matter. What's next?
