Introduction

The advent of technology has changed many things around us and the way we humans use to go about it. The world has now taken a shape of a global village, therefore, in this village the only concept which tends to stand and around which this village will move in the future is the survival of the fittest. So in order to survive and be counted among the fittest one need to have strong toolkit, which can maximize, an individual's performance and growth. The individual's performance and growth is linked to the fact that how he or she chooses to operate. Today the world tends to stand at the ideas of time management and working beyond the orders. The advent of technology has helped diminish the borders if not fully than at least to a certain extent.

In the context of this paper, we will be throwing light on the benefits and the opportunities presented to us by the ideas like online learning and online business.
