How has internet changed retailer and consumer relationship?

Fundamentally, it has opened markets to organisations that would not have been considered in the past. Not forgetting, the potential cost reductions that can be achieved.

To date, there are only a few global organisations (outside of the computer industry) that I believe, have intergrated e-Commerce and the Internet into their business that I would call, "Well On The Way".

Large global organisations do not fully understand computer technology at a very senior level, hence the slow uptake of the opportunities that are presented.

This may have a profound affect on their market position overtime as second and third tier competitors can establish themselves on the same platform and can adopt new and innovative competitive strategies in shorter time-frames, where larger organisations take time.

If your question is from a marketing orientation.

Then e-Commerce and the Internet have removed the major functions of what I would call marketing and not simply referring to marking as promotion.

Customers can in some ways be the loser in the technology revolution.

Are there any safe chat rooms for a 6 year old kid?

6 year olds should not be in a chatroom.

Children are best served by making friend In Real Life, not in a virtual reality on the internet. NO matter what website your children enter, there may be adults there as well posing as children. I know because I just did it on kidswirl.com, the supposedly best social networking site for kids.

Yes....the best Social Networking Site for kids that we have found is called kidswirl.com . It is very similar to the facebook layout...but designed exclusively for kids! My kids love it! They allow chatting only with friends that you have accepted.

My 6 old sister likes to play on webkinz, because it is safe for her and I'm big and older and I'm watching what she says.

There are some chat rooms for 6 year olds. I would recommend woogiworld, club penguin, panfu.com and dpals. The only one I know kids will enjoy is dpals.

The internet isn't the one freezing, it's the application your using.

The reason your streaming application probably freezes is if you keep losing the internet connection or your streaming device can't keep up..

If the Internet stream can't keep a minimum amount of data coming in then the streaming App will, freeze, crash, stall, etc. Make sure the streaming app is set up right. You might set the "cache" larger so it will download more before streaming starts.

Make sure you have updated the software and go the "their" Web Site and see if anyone else is having problems.
