Computers and the Internet are now pervasive and essential parts of our lives: we use them at work and at home to gather information, for entertainment, and, increasingly, to do business. The Internet allows people to chat with others from all over the world, to follow the news from every continent, and conveniently to shop online at home or at the office. This book chapter covers two important and related concepts: Web design and e-commerce. The section on Web design starts with the overall picture of the Internet, history, Web authoring tools, design rules as well as introducing some research findings on Web design. E-commerce is introduced with definitions, technological acceptance model, online payment methods, online marketing and future developments.

This chapter highlights the research findings of a longitudinal study of online privacy and security practices among global municipalities conducted in 2005 and 2007. As cities worldwide implement sophisticated e-government platforms to increasingly provide services online, many barriers still inhibit the adoption of such strategies by the citizen users, and one such factor is the availability of a comprehensive privacy policy. The survey examines cities throughout the world based upon their population size, the total number of individuals using the Internet, and the percentage of individuals using the Internet. Specifically, we examined if the website has a privacy or security policy, does the website utilize digital signatures and if the website has a policy addressing the use of cookies to track users. Overall, results indicate that cities are increasingly emphasizing on privacy and security policies with major improvements in 2007, along with significant changes in the top ranking cities in when compared to the 2005 study.

Technologies in the classroom are now the norm in schools equipped with multimedia, graphics and animation, access to the Internet, and handheld and remote devices. Students use these technologies as once they used pencils, books, and manipulatives to learn content in all subject areas. Learning is surpassing mere skills and facts; students are thinking and solving problems using these new skills. Literally, the world has become their classroom. Technologies help students master content aided by the fastest Internet connections at home as well as school. Technologies are the norm rather than the exception as tools for learning and content to be taught and mastered in school. Technologies are transforming how teachers teach and how their students learn, making it possible for both to attain the demands of ever-increasing standards. To meet these demands, educators have come to consider technology as a content area to be learned and as tools to be mastered.

Just as wheelchair ramps and elevators provide access to wheelchair users, good Web design provides “electronic curb ramps” to the Internet for individuals with visual or other disabilities (Waddell, 1997). Research shows it is easier and less expensive to initially construct accessible Web pages rather than to retrofit the pages with corrections. Most of the technical requirements for accessible Web design can be met if Web designers adhere to the straightforward principles suggested by the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative.

<p class="15bIsiAbstractBInggris"><em>The Covid-19 pandemic has attacked the world since the beginning of 2020. The number of victims who have fallen is increasing, including in Indonesia. Seeing the increasingly fast and dangerous growth of the virus, the government urges to stay at home and not carry out daily activities as usual first, because avoiding associations and maintaining distance are one of the main ways to break the chain of the spread of Covid-19. However, limited access to activeness in various sectors is not the reason that the movement of the da'wah movement will stop, one of which is the preaching of the Al-Qur'an. The rapid development of technology, does not limit activities in the field, can still communicate, receive information via the internet, and various social media. So, the preaching of the Al-Qur'an can also be done using social media. There is no obstacle for a Muslim to memorize the Qur'an, so in the midst of a pandemic and busyness, Tahfidz online can become wasilah. Online Tahfidz is implemented by depositing memorization and muroja'ah via Whatsapp by sending voice notes, then it will be corrected by musyrifah who is the group admin. The method used in this research is qualitative by collecting data by observation, interviews, and questionnaires.</em></p><p class="16aJudulAbstrak"><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p class="16bIsiAbstrak">Pandemi Covid-19 sudah menyerang dunia sejak awal tahun 2020. Angka korban yang berjatuhan semakin bertambah termasuk di Indonesia. Melihat pertumbuhan virus yang semakin cepat dan berbahaya, maka pemerintah menghimbau untuk tetap di rumah dan jangan melaksanakan kegiatan sehari-hari seperti biasa dahulu, sebab menghindari perkumpulan dan menjaga jarak adalah salah satu cara utama memutus mata rantai penyebaran Covid-19. Namun terbatasnya akses keaktifan diberbagai sektor tidak menjadi alasan roda pergerakan dakwah pun akan berhenti, salah satunya adalah dakwah Al-Qur’an. Perkembangan teknologi yang semakin pesat, tidak membatasi aktifitas di lapangan, tetap bisa berkomunikasi, menerima informasi melalui internet, dan berbagai media sosial. Maka dakwah Al-Qur’an pun dapat dilakukan dengan media sosial. Tak ada halangan bagi seorang muslim untuk menghafal Al-Qur’an, maka ditengah pandemi dan kesibukan, Tahfidz online dapat menjadi wasilah. Tahfidz online dilaksanakan dengan menyetorkan hafalan dan muroja’ah melalui Whatsapp dengan mengirimkan <em>voice note</em>, kemudian akan dikoreksi oleh musyrifah yang menjadi admin grup. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data secara observasi, wawancara, dan kuisioner.</p>

This paper investigates how luxury values act as antecedents of Generation Y consumer’s adoption of online luxury purchasing technologies. Research findings based on 509 Generation Y luxury consumers in Turkey reveal that well-accepted luxury consumer values-namely functional, hedonic, social values -as well as product availability play a significant role on Generation Y consumers’ acceptance of online luxury purchasing technologies. Price consciousness value, which is an essential consumer value of online marketing, is not a significant antecedent in the model. Furthermore, the results of the study also demonstrate that perceived ease of use does not directly impact attitude toward purchasing luxury online. In that way, this research extends the technology acceptance model for online luxury purchasing. Based on the findings, key theoretical and practical implications are explored and discussed.

As students ponder their use of the new technologies in schools and at home, what issues are raised for librarians and teachers? Do teens exaggerate their confidence and competence as they report their perceptions of using technology? In this study, four 16 year olds discussed their personal experiences in using the Internet for work and for pleasure. From their musings, we may begin to see a pattern of developmentally specific activities for using the new technologies that differs from adult expectations.
