Before the days of the Internet, if a family wanted to travel to a far-off, exotic locale, they would have to either find a local travel agent or call a travel agency and plan their getaway. In the 1990’s, the Internet became a staple of everyday life and began entering many homes. As the availability of the Internet increased, so did the services available to clients. With the increasing availability of the World Wide Web the travel industry found itself faced with revolutionizing changes. All of the tools that were once solely available to travel agents now became readily available to anyone with access to the Internet and a search engine.

Today’s on-line travel market is succeeding because the companies are using a more software-centric, online business model termed “E-commerce.” This has become the popular avenue for businesses as it mirrors the ideas of mobility.

In this paper, the topic being discussed is how technological surveillance has evolved through the courts. Laws have been in place since the beginning of time. With all the new technological advances being made in the world, questions have arisen in court cases. For example, how much privacy can we expect to get if we disclose information on our networking sites? Is posting something on our wall protected as much as a message? What part of our calls are protected? These are questions the courts have been trying to answer and with technology advancing, questions will continue to increase.

Over the past few years technology has caused significant changes in the way enterprises conduct business.

One of the ways technology has changed over the years is the way individuals travel. Technology has made traveling easier to plan, as you can book flights, hotels, and rental cars all from your computer,

Our world is constantly in flux and change is a permanent feature of the environment for workers as well as organizations. Rapidly changing technological capabilities as well as advances have radically changed the nature of work and communication over the last 150 years. The average office or retail clerk would find many of the changes in how business is conducted from the early 20th century to today almost incomprehensible. Furthermore, rapid cultural changes and expectations have also changed how we interact and what our expectations are. In order for organizations to remain relevant in today’s business environment they must be able to adapt quickly to the changing needs of their customers as well as identify and implement appropriate technological advances to the their business strategy and model.

Walmart is currently in the midst of a major roll out of new technology, as well as significant process changes. These changes are in response to technological advances, and customer expectations. Successful implementation of these programs will improve the company’s position relative to competitors as well as in the eyes of consumers.

Of the total travel market only 1% was generated from the online travel market, and consumers still depended on customer call centers to confirm payment status. To counteract the risks it is important that Lucky Air create an effective business-consumer-business model that will do the obvious and draw consumers to their site and make an online purchase of airfare. To draw in consumers Lucky Air will need to focus on Web 2.0, which is the unique feature or features of e-commerce and the Internet coming together as applications and social media technologies. Web 2.0 will allow for a better online experience with inter-human connections, consumer interacted blogs and the staff to constantly monitor the site to provide consumer feedback. Web 2.0 is crucial to providing customer relationship management. Promoting reviews from consumers in regards to destinations and airline experience are important so the consumer can feel they are important enough to expose the truth from other consumers even negative remarks. But the single most important part of focusing on e-commerce is the ability to provide a online experience and advanced technology that enables customer self-service without the need for multiple customer call centers. Customers should be able to pay for fares, cancel fares, use a safe payment method that can verify a credit card, check on the status of flights and use rewards programs

Technology is defined as anything that makes life easier. There are times where technology can make life easier just as a phone can make your life easier by allowing you something to use to stay in touch with those people that are around you. There are also times where technology can make life harder because it is used against nature and can ruin places. Some of those times are: the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, China’s environmental degradation, World War II, and the second Industrial Revolution. These are all times in history where the environment took a turn for the worst because of the newest technology that was created and used.
