Right from the ancient times when barter was the only form of trade, as there was no money to make profit, trade has gone through a number of changes, both monetarily and technologically. If we include barter in traditional forms of trade and compare it with modern forms of trade such as buying and selling products on the internet, we find a host of differences between the two. Not getting to see the face of the shop owner, choosing product on one’s own and getting it billed electronically is another important difference between traditional and modern trades.
