Answer 1

Checked:
- It has given access to online banking and electronic pay.
- It has created the ability to purchase goods with the click of a button.
- It has introduced new products, such as smartphones.

Briefly: those three are direct, tangible consumer benefits (convenience, access to services, new products). Creating brand-new industries and increasing employment opportunities are broader economic effects of technology rather than immediate, direct benefits to consumers.
