The growth of online shopping will one day lead all shops in towns and cities closing. Do you agree or disagree?

In recent times, there has been an upsurge in the popularity of E-commerce which would soon lead to the extinction of physical outlets in society.

This

has resulted in slow-paced growth and development of the economy. In conclusion, e-commerce cannot provide imperative customer services to the populace and it tends to minimise income generation to society at large
