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.

josh,
ReplyDeleteI think that shopping online is very convenient, especially now that you can get overnight shipping and stuff like that. online shopping is something that i think will continue to advance as the years go by.
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
