Online shopping has gained immense popularity in recent years, challenging the traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Examine the advantages and disadvantages of both methods of shopping and give your opinion.
Over the
last
few years, online shops
have grown in popularity immensely. In the minds of many, This
phenomenon has rendered traditional shops
, which rely on physical interactions, obsolete. But that is
only one
side of the story and online shops
are not without their own disadvantages .
While
it is true that buying something online is more convenient and one
can buy virtually anything from the comfort of their own home, it should be noted that online shopping has its own risks and there are dubious websites that can deceit the buyer into buying one
thing and then
send them something else and if one
is not careful they can be tricked and scammed. Moreover
, there are people who prefer to physically touch the goods they are about to buy, a feeling online shopping can never provide. Take buying a car for instance
, for a lot of people it is important to just sit in the car to see if everything is to their liking. Overall
, we can say without a shadow of a doubt that online shops
have their own shortcomings.
On the other hand
, buying something from traditional brick-and-mortar stores takes too much time, time that can be put to better use. Oftentimes, going to a store and buying some items can take up so much time. In addition
to that, in online stores, you can see different sellers at different price points resulting in you always getting the best offer, a luxury that traditional forms of shopping do not provide. For example
, when looking for a phone, there are limited-time offers that some stores have that one
can take advantage of.
To conclude
, in my view, it is for a good reason that online shopping has gained this
much popularity and it will continue to do so because of the convenience and ease of use it offers. However
, they will not completely replace the traditional shops
but rather co-exist alongside them.Submitted by parsajahan3 on
