Some of the common themes that affect the online behavior of Internet users include:
(1 ) unfamiliar tools that are used to interact online over which users stumble in their efforts to make interactions productive, for example, the QWERTY keyboard (2 ) media richness that measures how well a communication medium can reproduce all the nuances and subtleties of the message it transmits (3 ) physical distance and lack of physical presence, considering how online interactions typically take place between people who are geographically separate, not just from one another, but from other people as well (4 ) anonymity, which can considerably change the behavior of people (5 ) the audience, which is blurry and undefined in the online world

Student answers will vary, but should include an understanding that customer OS and browser interact technologically with a Web site and might be relevant in data analysis. An example is: Customer OSs and browsers could help a company determine what technical functionalities could be used in the site. For example, if it found out that a significant percentage of its users are using mobile browsers, they might want to make sure that the Web site is easily used by various mobile devices. Secondly, this data might be relevant in data mining or other analysis. For example, a retail clothing company might find that a significant portion of their most valued customers use an Apple operating system, and from other data analysis know that Apple users are more likely to purchase cashmere sweaters. Then the company may want to place a greater emphasis on selling the cashmere sweaters.
