Online Shopping and Street Shopping
As
the
development
of
Internet
and
communication
technology,
online shopping is more and more
popular in the society, and it becomes a
hot issue both in and off the campus.
In comparison of online shopping
and street shopping, there are many
differences.
First
of
all,
online
shopping
has
many
advantages
compared
with
street
shopping. It is more convenient than street
shopping. Online stores
are usually
available 24 hours a day, and many consumers have
Internet
access both at work and at
home. Other establishments such as
Internet
cafes and schools provide access as
well. A visit to a conventional retail
store requires travel and must take
place during business hours. Shopping
online is being able to more quickly
seek out deals for items or services
with many different vendors than street
shopping. Search engines, online
price
comparison services and discovery shopping engines
can be used to
look up sellers of a
particular product or service.
Secondly, although the benefits of
online shopping are considerable,
when
the
process
goes
poorly
it
can
create
a
thorny
situation.
A
few
problems
that
shoppers
potentially
face
include
identity
theft,
faulty
products,
and
the
accumulation
of
spyware.
Whenever
you
purchase
a
product,
you
are
going
to
be
required
to
put
in
your
credit
card
information
and
billing/shipping
address.
