Describe how one past or current world event, concept, invention, etc. influenced one of the following: politics, religion, business or culture?

The invention of eCommerce changed retail forever.

Explanation:

The retail sector has seen a sharp decline in store sales ever since eCommerce has gained momentum. Since eCommerce offers a cheaper and time saving mechanism of shopping, and an efficient and cost friendly system to operate for vendors, the conventional store model has suffered greatly. More and more businesses are moving their sales system completely online and the example of Amazon having soared in value to record heights on its online marketplace backbone is a testament to this fact.
