What is “shopping on the internet”? It’s shopping by computer. You locate a product on the internet, then order it and at the same time pay for it by credit card. In the US, 7% OF families have already made at least one purchase by computer. They also say that sales on the internet are doubling every 12 months.
The “economist” magazine says that online shopping will increase in the future, like for example travel sales. Other areas that they think will increase are PC hardware, books, software and music. Perhaps these are obvious, but they also say that people will shop for groceries and clothing on the internet
Shopping on the internet may increase, but I think that many people prefer doing the shopping in department stores, shops and supermarkets. They like to touch and feel many thing, such as books and clothing. Before buying them. Of course internet shopping sites offer a great variety of products and you can shop from your home or office at any hour.
However there are some disadvantages of shopping by computer. The website can show photos of the products, but the shopper can’t feel, smell, taste or try on products. It can also be difficult to find out when items will arrive.
Perhaps online shopping is coming. But I don’t think that real world shops need save much time! When surfing around the internet in order to prepare this article, I was often temped to follow up sites that looked (and, in many cases, were) fascinating- just like wandering through the shops!
