time-saving option. I completely agree with the latter statement and in

this

essay, I will support my view with examples. One of the major drawbacks of online shopping is that we can not trust the security services provided by online shopping platforms. As we all know that e-commerce websites can be easily get hacked by attackers.

For example

, when we install

such

applications on our devices, we often save our debit/credit card information and if the cyber security of that website is weak

then

an attacker can easily obtain our financial details.

Moreover

, sometimes it becomes difficult to choose the right size clothes and we end up getting the wrong products. In

offline

shopping, we can simply avoid

such

situations and we get more variety of different options while shopping.

On the other hand

, we can not deny the advantages of online shopping. For online shopping, we do not have to travel and

instead

of that we can save our time and utilize it for other tasks. In a recent survey, it has been proven that the number of online shoppers has increased rapidly. During the Covid19 pandemic, it was not possible for human beings to do

offline

shopping,

thus

online shopping was the only option available.

Furthermore

, rural citizens choose online shopping due to the lack of shopping centres and malls. They get wide options for purchasing any goods. In conclusion,

although

there are good reasons why we should consider

offline

shopping, I strongly think that online shopping is more profitable and a smart way of shopping.
