| Description | The origin of the Internet era of electronic commerce (e-commerce) can arguably be traced back to October 1994 when the first version of the Netscape browser was released to the public. Widely popular because of its speed advantage over the Mosaic browser, it also contained commerceenabling software, i.e., the secure socket layer (SSL), that paved the way for secure financial transactions over this growing network (Reid 1997, Abbate, 1999, Naughton 2000).Although e-commerce had existed for decades prior, it was expensive, difficult and largely the purview of large corporations. The Internet greatly democratized the ability to conduct electronic commerce and paved the way for the tremendous expansion of e-commerce experimentation and failure (centred in the dot.com boom and bust at the turn of the 20th century), followed by the less visible, yet fundamentally more important, expansion of electronic commerce across sectors and around the world.
