It is now possible to order almost any item over the Internet and have it delivered to one’s home. As a result, people are no longer patient or careful in their shopping habits. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

There is currently a contentious argument over whether people have lost patience and cautiousness when it comes to shopping because of the advancement of online shopping. I totally disagree with

this

opinion because some of them read consumer testimonials carefully and spend a lot of

comparing

For instance

, a magazine published in Japan contains how some housewives think about some items, which others read and

reason for disapproving the concept that shopping online has led to less patience and carefulness of people about spending money on what they want is that thank to the progress of the Internet, they can easily comparison-shop online, taking more

than before. They have the desire to gain an item at a lower price.

Therefore

into deciding where to buy what they long for than they used to. In conclusion, I firmly believe that

although

online shopping is quite convenient, people are no less patient and careful about their shopping than in the past.

This

is because they consume more

and effort to make wiser decisions.

On the contrary

, in my opinion, the Internet has made shopping a more arduous and
