According to
the Times, the growth of internet purchases has increased by 200% in the Linking Words
last
decade. People today prefer to shop online rather than buy an item physically at a store, especially the upcoming generation who are making the best use of technology. In Linking Words

number is bound to grow up even more in the future and simultaneous measures should be taken to minimise the effects on the environment.Linking Words
