Online shopping is now replacing shopping in the store. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, more and more

people

have become to use the Internet and related technologies. Some

people

insist that

people

are more likely to shop things online rather than at real stores. I believe there are more merits than drawbacks because it helps

people

to save

time

and gives them more opinions.

To begin

with, the

first

reason is that

people

are able to save

time

for shopping.

For example

, online supermarkets help working mothers a lot. They used to have no

time

to shop for groceries since they had many chores that they needed to deal with.

In addition

, some of them worked until late at night when supermarkets are closed.

However

, online groceries make it possible to purchase foods from anywhere and whenever they want, with a smartphone or a laptop.

Furthermore

, some companies provide subscription services that deliver a certain amount of fruits and vegetables every month.

As a result

,

people

need not go shopping for everyday

products

. On top of that, another reason why I support online shopping is that that provides more options. In the 21st century,

people

can purchase

products

from all over the world thanks to the development of related services,

such

as Amazon.com and eBay, while there were only local

products

, and the privileged

people

afford goods from overseas for some decades ago.

Moreover

, online shopping makes it possible to compare prices for the same

products

, as well. To conclude, I believe that the merits of shopping via the Internet outweigh the demerits.

This

is because

this

saves

time

and gives more options.
