With developments in modern technology, it is much better to
shop online.
Do you agree or disagree.
Advances in technology have offered consumers the
possibility to shop online. Many retailers have introduced this way of shopping
in order to be competitive and survive.
There are many benefits to consumers who shop online. For a start,
prices are cheaper. You can look for the best deals with the click of a button.
There are more choices available for buyers. Perhaps some products are not sold
in the purchaser’s country. What is more, you can do your shopping from any
device such as a laptop or smart phone around the clock. Online shops never
close and deliver directly to your home.
Some people however, prefer traditional ways of shopping.
They prefer to try on clothes and shoes to see if they fit them or suit them.
It is sometimes difficult to choose the right size without trying items on. A
size 12 in Britain might not be the same as a size 12 in China. Sizes also vary
between shops in the same country.
Others might feel safer using a credit card
in a shop rather than on the internet. There have been many cases of personal
and card details being stolen online. Let us not forget that local shops are
harmed by the internet so the economy of a country suffers. Finally, shopping
is seen by many as a way to spend their free time. Many people enjoy browsing
through shops and combining this activity with other activities such as
drinking coffee, watching a movie or having a meal.
Although there are some risks attached to online shopping, I
believe this method will become increasingly popular in the future as modern
technology has made it easier.
