On Line Shopping



        

During the Christmas time season, one of the most common ways of shopping for your loved ones is online. Shopping online has grown exponentially and has many effects on today’s society. Entire industries have sprung up form this new demand. You can now have a better selection of products. Not to mention that it appeals to so many people because it is so easy. Online shopping has changed our global market greatly.

Now your local corner store doesn’t have a monopoly on the community. People can shop at places like ‘Amazon’ and ‘EBay.’ These companies can now thrive. With a thriving company comes economic growth. Jobs for these companies will grow to accommodate the new orders. It will also increase the economic outlook overall for the nation or nations that it is in. It will end up contributing all factors of growth like employment, purchases, and wages. This is a well-rounded, good thing for whatever economy that has this.

Now that, once again, the local stores do not limit your purchases, you can reach better products. Just the sheer quantity of places that you can shop form online these days has given people more options than they could ever need. They can also get their goods in better qualities and quantities. You can search for hand made high quality products that would not be offered in your local Wal-Mart. You can also order in bulk of these quality goods. No one can deny that they would like a nice quality jacket, but they would also be almost as accepting of several of those nice types of closes. In our greedy consumer society, this is what we all want and strive for.

To add to what today’s society wants with their shopping experience is ease of use. People only become interested in new things if it looks easy. Sad, but it is true. Today’s new operating systems and user interfaces have become more colorful and with fewer options that control all things. Just like that, the online shopping methods have become easier and easier to use. These systems cater to the lazy in all of us. This has become very enticing to all shoppers. While you think about your holiday shopping plans, the number one thought, now days, seems to be to go online and find the best kind of gift. If she likes it in red, but they only seem to have it in green, go online. It has started to seem that there is not anything that you cannot find online.

Now that we can get exactly what we want and how we want it, our ability to innovate has advanced.

  2. Josh, I think it is very interesting how popular online shopping has become. When eBay first started out people were so timid to go and put their information out there. They were afraid that by putting it online they would get cheated in the long run. However, times have changed. Now there are some regulations to ensure that you will not get ripped off. I also think that because it is so convenient, the local corner store will suffer greatly. As online shopping becomes more and more advanced there may be no need to go to the corner store. I think the fact that there is site where you could buy just about whatever you want, appeals to us more. We would rather sit in our house on a computer than go running all over town from store to store trying to find what we want.

  3. I think that online shopping has really grown from what it was before. Online shopping has begun to have its own internet culture. Some people make a living off of selling items on sites like ebay and Amazon.com. Also having online shopping sites has really affected our society in ways that will last for generations. People get out of their houses less, people have more access to more items in more variety, and people are getting lazier and lazier. Online shopping erodes traditions such as family shopping and Christmas shopping together. Good blog by the way Josh.
