Answer 1

Contemporary technology is new way of conducting, managing and executing business transactions using modern information based technology. The use differs among different groups. Some groups which are runnning traditional business may find it difficuilt to accomodate their business while others new start up may quickly make use of it. It also varies as per the product or nature of business.

Due to use of cell phone which is quicker and easier instead of face to face contact, a lot of contact work is done through cell phones. hence a personal business touch is lessened. Today only people have started becoing more comfortable in virtual world rather than face to face conversation. Though business would be quick as image sending and more transperency would be there but it would be stressful also.
