The tech-savvy soon-to-be or current business individuals would not be lost in the new wave of business jargons that modern day and technologically literate business individuals mouth to each other everyday over cups of coffee or in between cigarette breaks outside the boardroom , and some of the commonly spoken and heard terms include `information technology ' and `e-business .

Taiwan 's agriculture is just one of the cases that marks the continued widespread of e-commerce and the role of information technology in its overall success
