Many high street shops have gone out of business in recent years. Why do you think this has happened? Is it a positive or negative development ?

A number of posh street stores have vanished in the

last

decade. The primary reason of

this

phenomenon is the advent of e-commerce

websites

, I believe and it is a positive development because people would spend their vital

time

and energy on productive things. There are numerous

websites

which are using an online platform to sell products electronically. In my point of view, online product selling

websites

provide heaps of choice to the customers where they can buy the product of their choice without going to the showrooms.

For example

, a recent article published in the The Economic Times revealed that 66% customers prefer to buy things online because of the convenience and user friendly options.

This

is a positive development because the

time

which customers used to spend in travelling to go to the stores, could utilize that precious

time

on activities which are more imperative.

For instance

, for the

last

5 years I am using online

websites

for my different requirements i

I

e. The mantra for my clothing stuff and Big Basket for my home grocery requirements because I do not want to waste my

time

and I usually dedicate that

time

and energy for my IELTS exam preparation. To conclude, most of the stores are no more seen in the high class areas for the past some years. The foremost reason of

this

situation is the launch of user-friendly e-commerce

websites

which is convenient to use in my opinion.

Moreover

, it is a positive development because the

time

and energy would be saved and could be used into more useful tasks.
