Some people say that modern technology has made shopping today easier, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion

There is no denying that technological advances have been playing an important role in our daily lives.

This

also

leads to significant changes in the way people shop nowadays.

While

many believe that advanced technology facilitates their shopping, others think

otherwise

. Both views are justifiable but I personally lean towards the former. On the one hand, the development of e-commerce and advertisements is not necessarily beneficial to all customers, especially when they are not strictly regulated.

For example

, the fact that some e-shopping sites are rife with counterfeits and low-quality goods,

along with

ads which pop up constantly can result in an unpalatable online shopping experience for customers,

not to mention

the risk of leaking their private information online.

On the other hand

, it is undeniable that technological advances have brought a wide variety of benefits to customers. Everyone is now able to purchase goods conveniently from their homes with a few simple steps,regardless of distance and weather conditions.

This

proves to be extremely useful for busy people who do not have much time to go to stores and shop in person.

Moreover

, the advent of credit cards and other forms of payment

also

enables people to shop safely and securely.

This

is because we do not have to bring a large sum of cash with us when we go shopping;

hence

,

this

may eliminate the risk of getting robbed. Even when they are careless and get their wallets with cards stolen or dropped on the street, those cards are simply of no use to thieves or anyone except the owners themselves. In conclusion, despite its negative effects, I strongly believe that technology significantly improves our shopping experiences and it will be developed even

further

in the future.
