The growth of online shopping will one day lead to all shops in towns and cities closing. Do ypu agree or disagree?

Owing to the increasing trend in the patronage of online shopping some people have suggested that

this

will lead to the shutting down of physical shops both in rural and urban areas. In my view, I strongly disagree as factors

such

as literacy and diversity in people's personalities will mitigate against

such

a move. 👌

To begin

with, it has been observed that there are many people who still prefers to see what they want to buy before paying for it.

Consequently

such

people will prefer to visit a physical shop

instead

of purchasing the item online. It should be noted that a recent research by an economist in the department of sales and marketing of Lagos State University has proven that online sales is more prevalent among the elite

this

as a result

of the level of understanding

that is

required in the use of various applications used for

this

mode of shopping.

In addition

this

, online shopping will not allow one to check whether the cloth or shoe ordered for is the perfect size,

hence

the reason some individuals will prefer to go to the market. Other research by a prominent professor in the University of Ibadan has

also

proven that diversity in people's personalities and age is

also

a major factor that affect the level of online patronage. Statistics have shown that ninety five percent of patronage is found among young people as

such

older people are scared of taking the risk

that is

associated with online mode of shopping.

For instance

, a survey carried out in a rural area of Oyo town showed that elderly people are so afraid of losing their money,

hence

they will rather prefer to shop physically and see what they are buying before making payment. In conclusion, ~I believe that~ even though there is an immense growth in online shopping, I strongly disagree that it will result in shutting down of physical shops, both in rural and urban areas

as a result

of factors

such

as literacy, age and diversity in people's personalities.👌

The countryside is becoming empty because individuals are leaving the villages toward cities. In my opinion, although rural residents can experience more welfare in the cities, the moving leads to an increase competition in job market, a rise in house renting, and a drop in agricultural crops.
