Online shopping is replacing offline or shopping from stores. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

It is true that the

last

100 years have been a rapid and dramatic development in many areas including technology. With the advancement in technology online shopping sites,

for instance

, Amazon is getting more popular these days. I opine that it is a positive development that has manifold benefits that can be explained in upcoming paragraphs.

First

and foremost, e-commerce websites offer varieties of consumer products, goods or foods at one place without visiting physical

shops

. For an earlier generation, buying food or product involves visiting individual

shops

each with a limited range of offers. Customers had less money and credit cards weren't widely used.

For instance

, one cannot find electronic items in

and vice versa. They have to visit individual

.

By contrast

, e-commerce helps people to get their desired items with an unlimited range of products without visiting

shops

or

. Just in the same way, shopping from online

saves time and provide a better shopping experience. Nowadays people are very busy with their own work and not everyone has the spare time to visit

although

online shopping has made life a lot easier, despite

this

, I think it is still better to shop physically as you will get to see, feel, make your choice and

also

get the value for your money.
