Social networking sites provides productive medium to build relations with others and share information related to jobs, upcoming carrier opportunities and their life experiences also. In Today’s time the social sites preferred stomping ground in cyberspace. Every Technology has its good and adverse effects on society likewise social sites has many fors and againsts.The social networking sites like https://instagram.com/,https://linkedin.com/https://facebook.com/ etc are incessantly disturbing students from their studies. Social networks are only electronic association between users but unluckily it has become an addiction for students, teenagers and even adults. This paper contains both merits and demerits of social media and their impact.

Due to the advent of the Internet, electronic business transactions have exploded around the globe. The radical evolution of computers and advancement of technology in the area of hardware (smaller size, weight, low power consumption and cost, high performance) and communications has introduced the notion of mobile computing .Mobile wireless market is increasing by leaps and bounds. Today, new technologies that allow cellular (mobile) phones and other handheld devices to access the Internet have made wireless business transactions possible. This phenomenon is known as mobile commerce or M-Commerce. Mobile payments (m-payments) are increasingly being adopted by organisations as a new way of doing business in the 21st century. Recently, more and more people have begun using their mobile phones as a method of payment for online shopping and banking. Mobile payments have become easier than ever. Present security issues of mobiles, payments however, still require improvement. Mobile Commerce is an evolving area of e-commerce, where users can interact with service providers through a mobile and wireless network using mobile device for information retrieval and transaction processing .The challenge for mobile network lie in providing very large footprint of mobile services with high speed and security. Online transactions using mobile devices must ensure high security for user credentials and it should not be possible for misuse. the principal drivers of a resurgent and increased interest in mobile payments. In addition, advances in software and hardware security techniques have made trusted financial transactions possible from these devices. This white paper examines the current state and nature of the mobile payments market, some of the relevant enabling technologies, and looks at the relevant risk, security and assurance issues that security and audit professionals will want to consider when developing and evaluating mobile. Payment services. (TPS) is an information processing system for business transactions involving the collection, modification and retrieval of all transaction data. Characteristics of a TPS include performance, reliability and consistency. TPS is also known as transaction processing or real-time processing.

The purpose of this study is to explore the attitude of youth towards online shopping. Online shopping has a tremendous growth in India. It is a recent phenomenon in the field of E-business. It has become a new trend of shopping and is quickly becoming a vital part of lifestyle. It offers the customer a wide range of products and services wherein he is able to compare the price quoted by diverse suppliers and also choose the best deal from it. Through online shopping, consumers can buy the selected product rapidly by doing some clicks from home or work saving time and energy in spite of the larger distance arising from the endless and unlimited market offered by the internet. Online shopping has seen a huge growth in recent years. The study found that most of the young people doing online shopping. Further, the study found that in case of gender, female respondents with higher average online shopping expenditure than that of the male respondents.

The aim of this study is to explore the challenges of e-marketing in India. Electronic commerce is a revolution that many industry and academic observer believe will transform the conduct and structure of business. This range of interesting developments and innovations that are occurring in information goods, firm business processes, electronic marketplaces, and emerging industries in the economy further increase the impetus to broaden efforts in research on electronic commerce. Shopping is one of the essential part of our daily life. Internet has brought nearly the entire world just a click away from us. The retail industry canvass has been repainted by internet and the rules of the game in retailing are fast changing. The western culture has affected each and every aspect of our Indian society. The life is becoming fast not only in the metros but also in the normal cities. The number of nuclear families is increasing and both husband and wife are working, as they have less time to go to the market for purchasing every now and then. Some other reasons like these, say shortage of time, traffic jams, late working hours, versatility of plastic money and above all the improved their service and are providing more and more convenience to the customers. From advance payment options they moved on to payment on delivery.

Cloud computing has quickly appeared as a outstanding standard for contributing IT infrastructure, resources and services on a pay-per-use basis from the last few years. Cloud computing is a promising technology and number of researches has been proposed for solving the issues faced by the cloud. There are number of challenges that a cloud is facing, from which, the main challenge is the resource allocation technique. Cloud permits the provisioning of resource on-demand. This procedure of allocating and re-allocating of resources is the way to accommodate the impulsive demands with an improvement of return on investment by means of infrastructure with the support of cloud. Resource allocation is the method in which the resources are allocated to each cloud user by the providers of cloud services. The varied factors like response time, cost, and dynamic allocation need to be acknowledged while choosing a technique of resource allocation. Though, in spite of the recent growth in cloud computing market, number of problems in the resource allocation remains unaddressed. This source course has introduced the significant concepts and the mechanisms of cloud computing and deliberates some research question on the topic while emphasizing on challenges and state-of-art solutions in the resource allocation. The article will expectantly inspire the future researchers to come up with the optimal and smarter resource allocation algorithms and structures to build up the paradigm of cloud computing.

Reusing the module or component of software is one of the most prime objective while developing a software system. To design computer program from the bottom or scratch is extremely expensive and time consuming so most of the giant companies in the field of computers are using pre- existing software components. CBSE i.e component based software engineering depends on the concept of combining different- components, providing interfaces and integrating all the modules or components. The concept of certification helps us to believe that a component is up to the mark and it follows a particular quality standard which is the reliability of a particular component. Through this novel certification model we are introducing a new mechanism that helps to select the component from the repository which increases the reliability of a component.

Machine learning and deep learning plays an important role in computer technology and artificial intelligence. With the use of deep learning and machine learning, human effort can be reduce in recognizing, learning, predictions and many more areas. This paper presents recognizing the handwritten digits (0 to 9) from the famous MNIST dataset, comparing classifiers like KNN, PSVM, NN and convolution neural network on basis of performance, accuracy, time, sensitivity, positive productivity, and specificity with using different parameters with the classifiers.

Internet of Things (IoT) is the one of the most trending topic for research which had made its spurt emergence in the industry with breathtaking implementations. Internet of Things applications are like a big blue ocean covering plenty of devices leading to a whole new ecosystem. Nowadays, one of the most enlightened applications of the Internet of Things is Smart Homes. This concept has made our homes more secure and smarter resulting in judicious use of resources as well as leading to a smarter sustainable development. Smart homes are one of the most reliable applications of Internet of Things making one’s surrounding easy to deal with. This paper covers conceptual study on Smart Homes with offered utility, features and potency.
