Some people still have not embraced e-commerce for a variety of reasons such as credit card fraud, lack of a physical store, personal information becoming public, etc. To build a successful e-commerce site you have to go beyond looking at bar graphs and "Top 10 Lists" and get details. This week for your discussion, you will need to interview a coworker, peer, or friend and ask them to describe any ethical, social, or political issues they feel are e-commerce related. Before the interview, what were the top 3 or 4 issues that you expected to hear? Provide a summary of your findings based on your interview. Compare what you learned in the interview to what you expected to hear. Was there anything discussed that you didn't expect to hear?
