Using the Internet, commerce can be conducted online through the World Wide Web. To enable electronic transactions, a company would need software for generating purchase orders or quotation requests, process invoices, build marketing material, mechanism to respond to customers and process orders, and keep track of customer-purchasing behaviors. Additionally, some commercial websites allow you to customize your own product. For example, Nike's website enables you to purchase shoes designed by you. You can choose different color combinations for your shoe. You can even specify personalized text to be placed on the shoe.
Manufacturing Research
Computer simulation tools can be used to design products. For example, in automobile tire research, simulation tools can be used to estimate braking distances of tires under various road conditions and tire tread patterns. Researchers from Pusan National University (J.R. Cho, H.W. Lee and W.S. Yoo) have used computer simulation and published their results in a paper titled A wet-road braking distance estimate utilizing the hydroplaning analysis of patterned tire in the International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering. Volume 69 Issue 7.

Movies
Computer-generated special effects have made possible the creation of award-winning films such as Star Wars: Episode II, Jurassic Park, Men in Black, Jumanji, Forrest Gump, and the Perfect Storm.
In particular, Star Wars: Episode II was the first major motion picture to be shot entirely on digital cameras. The production team saved time and money usually invested in film stock and photochemical processing by using digital cameras. Traditionally, images shot on film had to be scanned and transformed into digital media to incorporate visual effects. Digital cameras facilitated the process of transferring movie images from different stages of production.
You can read about how movie effects are incorporated using computer technology by Industrial Light & Magic, the company that created the visual effects for the first Star Wars movie.
Video Games
The video gaming industry has advanced greatly from the simple black and white dotted images of video game characters from the 70s to the life-like 3-D simulations of video game creatures. Video game systems are computer systems integrated with sophisticated video imaging technology to bring a world of fantasy to life on your computer screen. You can browse through a sample video game website.
Music
Distribution of music in the 20th century has evolved from analog to digital form. Music can be downloaded from Internet sites and stored in hand-held size MP3 players. This expanded the volume of music selections that can be stored and played. You can read about how MP3 Players work.
