The Self-service Environment.
	The Information Age and its rapid advances in communications technology means that people can do tasks for themselves that used to have to be done by going to a bank or a shop or other commercial workplace. Examples of on-line tasks that people can do for themselves over the Internet... Shopping A wide range of goods can now be bought from commercial websites. The goods are usually paid for using credit or debit card and delivered within a few days to the doorstep. Banking A wide range of banking tasks can now be done on-line such as creating new accounts, transferring money, making payments, requesting a new cheque book, viewing bank statements and arranging loans or mortgages. Booking Holidays can be booked online - also travel tickets, cinema or theatre seats.
