What is the relationship between a program and an algorithm?
A program is written in a language that a computer can understand it is a set of computer instructions designed to solve problems. An Algorithm is a set of step-by-step procedures for accomplishing a task.


In what way is writing instructions for a computer more difficult than writing instructions for a person? In what way is it easier?

A computer already has a set language and with algorithms, can fix any ambiguities or problems. It may be more difficult because you would have to use "machine language" which is numeric codes that initiate computer operations.

E-commerce is important in today's business world becuase it makes it easier for people to carry out business transtactions. It increases productivity by providing faster transsactions and is more efficient.E-Commerce has a large impact on comsumers and is allowing consumers to become pore dependent on internet transactions and it does not require leaving the house for business purposes.

E-commerce (B2B) and extranet allows for the sharing or intraorganizational information and allows buying and selling between businesses. At a college or university, buisness alliances can be formed to buy and import recsources from one school to another. These resources can include bokks and office supplies. The extranet can facilitate orders between differenct companies and are more efficient becuase of easy communication between businesses. Links can be installed and advertised on the university website for more business and money opportuities.

Depending on the amount of extra money paid I would pay extra for more secure buisness transactions and to prevent the sharing or personal information. I don't think I would share personal information even if it did promise personalized service.
