The growing trend of online platforms and a variety of retail brands has made shopping one of the needs for comfort; It is argued that a few years back individuals would only purchase
things
which is a basic necessities for their day-to-day life.In recent days shopping has become a pastime for many.In my opinion,
This
trend will have a detrimental impact on society as it causes a financial crisis towards middle-class families where the public buys
things
that are really not necessary.Perhaps,
this
habit
also
enables them to compare various types of
products
and prices.
Primarily, If we look back a decade ago, an individual has to invest more time and money to purchase an item since there are a large number of offline shopping than online.Nowadays, with these smart devices and online platforms, we can even buy edible items through the internet which would be delivered to our doorstep.
As a result
,
This
ease of access made us buy
things
which do not really need.
Furthermore
, online shopping has become an addiction to some crowds who spend a lot of money buying
things
that are not really necessary.
For Example
, a few years back only Amazon and eBay were the major e-commerce websites ,
However
,recently we have a variety of
products
available that
also
includes, Diary
products
, Vegetables and Fruits which are edible.
Unequivocally,
this
trend may
also
have some positive impact as it is helpful for the family where both husband and wife are working.
Moreover
, Some public wish to spend time window shopping and surfing the
products
with just a touch of a button.
Also
, when shopping is a hobby we can have more knowledge of each and every product which saves us some cash by comparing a range of
products
and purchasing a good quality at a reasonable price .
For example
,In my personal experience,I recently bought a 65" inch Sony TV where I compared the prices with different stores and online which made it easy to select a store that sells the product for a cheaper price.
To conclude
, even though shopping was a domestic task in the past, but,
due to
a large number of technology and stores it eventually made shopping a hobby for many. Sometimes, it has a negative impact when people spend a large amount of money on buying
that is
not really necessary.
However
, It
also
enables us to compare and save the price.
