This is an open access book. E-commerce is a commercial activity centered on commodity exchange by means of information network technology. In the open network environment of the Internet, based on the client/server application method, buyers and sellers carry out various commercial activities online, realizing online shopping for consumers, online transactions between merchants and online electronic payment, as well as various business activities, trading activities, financial activities and related comprehensive service activities of a new business operation mode. It is the electronicization, networking and informatization of all aspects of traditional business activities. Internet technology is the prerequisite for e-commerce to be realized. The development and popularization of Internet technology has also played a positive role in promoting the development of e-commerce. Internet technology is a double-edged sword, with advantages and disadvantages, since it can promote the development of e-commerce, it may also affect its normal construction, such as the existence of theft of information, tampering with information, counterfeiting, malicious damage and other security risks, but also through the firewall technology, data encryption technology, authentication technology, digital signature technology and other technologies to regulate the transaction process. Therefore, the influence of the two is mutual, and only through continuous friction can we continuously promote the development of both sides in a benign direction. ECIT 2023 provides a platform in order to Create a forum for sharing, research and exchange at the international level, so that participants can be informed of the latest research directions, results and contents of applied Internet technologies on e-commerce, thus stimulating them to generate new research ideas. Promote the development of e-commerce by studying its problems. To open up new perspectives, broaden horizons and examine the issues under discussion by the participants. Each accepted article requires at least one author to attend the meeting and present it.

A new framework for assessing the role of information and communication technologies in development that draws on Amartya Sen's capabilities approach. Information and communication technologies (ICTs)--especially the Internet and the mobile phone--have changed the lives of people all over the world. These changes affect not just the affluent populations of income-rich countries but also disadvantaged people in both global North and South, who may use free Internet access in telecenters and public libraries, chat in cybercafes with distant family members, and receive information by text message or email on their mobile phones. Drawing on Amartya Sen's capabilities approach to development--which shifts the focus from economic growth to a more holistic, freedom-based idea of human development--Dorothea Kleine in Technologies of Choice? examines the relationship between ICTs, choice, and development. Kleine proposes a conceptual framework, the Choice Framework, that can be used to analyze the role of technologies in development processes. She applies the Choice Framework to a case study of microentrepreneurs in a rural community in Chile. Kleine combines ethnographic research at the local level with interviews with national policy makers, to contrast the high ambitions of Chile's pioneering ICT policies with the country's complex social and economic realities. She examines three key policies of Chile's groundbreaking Agenda Digital: public access, digital literacy, and an online procurement system. The policy lesson we can learn from Chile's experience, Kleine concludes, is the necessity of measuring ICT policies against a people-centered understanding of development that has individual and collective choice at its heart.

Billions of people around the world lack internet access. No one cared until the whole world had to go online. President Joe Biden has repeatedly said that the United States would close the digital divide under his leadership. However, the divide still affects people and communities across the country. The complex and persistent reality is that millions of residents live in digital deserts, and many more face disproportionate difficulties when it comes to getting and staying online, especially people of color, seniors, rural residents, and farmers in remote areas. Economic and health disparities are worsening in rural communities without available internet access. Students living in urban digital deserts with little technology exposure are ill prepared to compete for emerging occupations. Even seniors struggle to navigate the aging process without access to online information and remote care. In this book, Nicol Turner Lee, a leading expert on the American digital divide, uses personal stories from individuals around the country to show how the emerging digital underclass is navigating the spiraling online economy, while sharing their joys and hopes for an equitable and just future. Turner Lee argues that achieving digital equity is crucial for the future of America’s global competitiveness and requires radical responses to offset the unintended consequences of increasing digitization. In the end, Digitally Invisible proposes a pathway to more equitable access to existing and emerging technologies, while encouraging readers to weigh in on this shared goal.
