Paradigms:
Consumers nowadays have access to everything they want on the click of a button, whatever the item, the country of origin, or the location of the supplier.
Because the consumers are used to get access to everything they want from home, they now demand for services (internet banking, recharging phone credit, turning in electricity meter data, etc.) to be available and accessible 24/7, from their living room, for free (not over a pay-phone service).
As people find new way to socialise online and as it becomes increasingly easy to find interlocutors sharing one's interests, the way relationships, networking is done is changing rapidly.
With an increasing amount of "internet friends" people tend to want to be more accessible online.
Gradual return to "normality" after original confusion over ethical behavior: what is stealing? what is plagiarism?
