My E-commerce experience


 

              My experience on E-commerce is mainly on online shopping. I try online shopping since I got my first credit card from my father. The first website which I do online shopping was ebay. I am very excited on my first online shopping because I heard many bad news from many people about online shopping someone got cheated from online merchants someone had problems with products but could not do anything because the seller is live overseas. The treat that I afraid most is my credit card information might be steal by someone. But in reality I mostly got good experience from online shopping.
               First time I entered ebay, I dumbfounded because I found that almost everything in the world are selling on this website by merchants around the world. I enjoyed watching items selling on ebay, I found many things that I cannot found in Thailand, rare old toys in never opened package, even cars can also found on this website. I chose a Japanese music CD for my first time purchasing. I searched for information about purchasing products online from many many websites. I found that I must have PayPal account which is the best method for online payment. When I finished purchase and pay for the music CD I am so excited. I always check the status of the product. I waited for a week then the package arrived. I checked the condition and no any problem. I felt very happy and enjoy online shopping. After the first purchase, I always buying things that I cannot find in Thailand.
                 I also have bad experience from online shopping. At that time I had purchased a gaming laptop from a merchant on ebay. It is the most expensive item that I purchased from ebay. I very excited because it is a big item and hopefully that everything will be okay. When the item arrived I checked the new laptop unfortunately I found big groups of black spot on the screen! I sent email to the seller immediately but they replied like they do not need to respond to this problem and I also cannot do anything because I live far away from the seller. So I have to find the way to repair it by myself fortunately I found a replacement part. From this event I learned that I should not buy expensive things from online shopping because when something wrong happen, it is very difficult to get responsibility from the overseas merchants and it also costly to send the item back or repair it.
                 Online shopping is still a good choice for me to buy something that very difficult to find or cannot find in my hometown. From my experience I learned that I must check information of the item that I want to buy first if it available in the country it is the best choice to buy in the country because it easier to get good service when there are some problems and it also cheaper than purchasing from other countries because shipping cost between country is expensive.

Free no WiFi zone !?

Nowadays people are able to connect to the internet all the time. When we look around we will always see people doing like in the picture. This will make people forget to pay attention to someone around them. I am sure that you might saw some group or couple sit together in a restaurant but each one always do something on their phone.


Today I see an interesting campaign and want to share to you. This campaign is present by Kit Kat joined with JWT Amsterdam, it called "HAVE A BREAK, HAVE NO WIFI". They provided a small area with a small WiFi jammer, it made that area unable to connect to the internet. It is a lovely thinking because they want people to break from using internet and do simple thing such as talk face to face with friends, read newspaper or etc. except using internet (also mobile phone). I think it is a creative idea to tell people that "You should try to pay attention to someone near you."

Variety of audio format


When you want to listen music you will listen from CD or audio file right? In our generation listen music from audio file is a very good idea because of convenience. You can carry more than 100 songs in a small device such as mp3 players or mobile phone. There are many different audio format to choose, I will assort them into two group there are lossy and lossless formats.

 Lossy Formats
For regular listening, it's more likely that you'll be using a lossy format. They save a ton of space, leaving you with more room for songs on your portable player.

MP3: MPEG Audio Layer III, or MP3 for short, is the most common lossy format around. So much so that it's become synonymous with downloaded music. MP3 isn't the most efficient format of them all, but its definitely the most well-supported, making it our #1 choice for lossy audio. You really can't go wrong with MP3.

AAC: Advanced Audio Coding, also known as AAC, is similar to MP3, although it's a bit more efficient. That means that you can have files that take up less space, but with the same sound quality as MP3. And, with Apple's iTunes making AAC so popular, it's almost as widely compatible with MP3. I've only ever had one device that couldn't play AACs properly, and that was a few years ago, so it's pretty hard to go wrong with AAC either.

Ogg Vorbis: The Vorbis format, often known as Ogg Vorbis due to its use of the Ogg container, is a free and open source alternative to MP3 and AAC. Its main draw is that it isn't restricted by patents, but that doesn't affect you as a user—in fact, despite its open nature and similar quality, it's much less popular than MP3 and AAC, meaning fewer players are going to support it. As such, we don't really recommend it unless you feel very strongly about open source.


WMA: Windows Media Audio is Microsoft's own proprietary format, similar to MP3 or AAC. It doesn't really offer any advantages over the other formats, and it's also not as well supported. There's very little reason to rip your CDs into this format.

Lossless Formats
Lossless music keeps all the audio quality of the original source—in most cases, CD—intact, while lossy music compresses the files for space savings.

WAV and AIFF: Both WAV and AIFF are uncompressed formats, which means they are exact copies of the original source audio. The two formats are essentially the same quality; they just store the data a bit differently. AIFF is made by Apple, so you may see it a bit more often in Apple products, but WAV is pretty much universal. However, since they're uncompressed, they take up a lot of unnecessary space. Unless you're editing the audio, you don't need to store the audio in these formats.

FLAC: The Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) is the most popular lossless format, making it a good choice if you want to store your music in lossless. Unlike WAV and AIFF, it's been compressed, so it takes up a lot less space. However, it's still a lossless format, which means the audio quality is still the same as the original source, so it's much better for listening than WAV and AIFF. It's also free and open source, which is handy if you're into that sort of thing. 
p.s.This format is not fully supported by Apple devices.

Apple Lossless: Also known as ALAC, Apple Lossless is similar to FLAC. It's a compressed lossless file, although it's made by Apple. Its compression isn't quite as efficient as FLAC, so your files may be a bit bigger, but it's fully supported by iTunes and iOS (while FLAC is not). Thus, you'd want to use this if you use iTunes and iOS as your primary music listening software.

APE: APE is a very highly compressed lossless file, meaning you'll get the most space savings. Its audio quality is the same as FLAC, ALAC, and other lossless files, but it isn't compatible with nearly as many players. They also work your processor harder to decode, since they're so highly compressed. Generally, I wouldn't recommend using this unless you're very starved for space and have a player that supports it.
p.s.This format is not fully supported by Apple devices.

Which should you use?

I recommend you to use lossless formats when you want sound quality same as the original CD or when you listen from good quality speakers or earphones. It also a good idea to choose lossless formats when you rip musics from CD. If you want to carry a lot of songs in a device and not worry about sound quality, lossy formats are your choice.
