Shopping online is more popular than it has ever been. Millions of users go online every day to buy everything; from groceries to fashion items. Improvements in electronic commerce technologies come changing the way you shop. These advances come with greater risk and with a component of customer service quality that is becoming less human.
ResponderEliminarThe most obvious advantage of online shopping is its convenience. The days of having no choice but to leave home to buy are a long and distant memory. Now, thanks to smartphones and wifi, the convenience is there in our pockets, at any time of the day or night. Most physical stores have a limited stock; But online you will find a much wider variety of items, which otherwise might not have been available. Another great advantage of online shopping is the potential to save money through effortless cost comparison.
But, they also have disadvantages. By making an online payment through an insecure transaction, you may be exposed to fraud or identity theft. Another disadvantage is not being able to physically see what you are buying. Also the human service to the client when things go wrong. Too often, a robot can not solve its problems, but human help is not available or difficult to obtain.
There is no doubt that online shopping has revolutionized our experiences as customers, and will continue to do so as technological advances continue. But it is important to keep track of the risks that we can not ignore and the new risks that can arise from online purchases; which becomes an increasingly normal part of our daily lives.

Online shopping is extended in the world and nowadays it is so popular in our society because it allows that people can buy something on internet without going to the store. It is more comfortable, faster and it is more variety.
ResponderEliminarGoing to buy is very difficult for many people with disability for example people can´t walk. The difficulties in struggling past in-store railings and reaching counters and changing rooms, even if he is using his walking sticks. For this, disability people go to buy in stores is so difficult and a bad situation.
Many things it´s better go to the store because you can see it , you can touch it and you can prove it. Also many people loves going to buy because it´s a great experience and a way to relax ; but in some situations people have a problem with it because they spend a lot of money and they need buy many things all the time, so it is considered a addiction.
I think that the online shopping is a good way to buy without go out of house but I prefer go to buy in stores because I can prove it.

ResponderEliminarNowadays a lot of people buy clothes or others products online because it is more confortable , but have you thought about what problems this can bring ? .
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand the large vehicles that deliver the packages in cities produce a lot of pollution and traffic and this can cause health problems to people. In addition , shops can also
disappear because every time people buy more online and they save more time and have less stress .
On the other hand disabled have more difficulties to enter the shops and to walk in them . In my opinión buying on internet is a good idea if you don´t have time but you shouldn´t buy a lot online.

ResponderEliminarShopping online is an actual way of buying things without leaving home. Nowadays you can find whatever you want on the internet: clothes, games and electronic things among other things.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, shopping online is great because you don´t have to do car trips and it is good for the environment. Moreover, for example if you want to buy clothes and there wasn´t your size at the clothes shop, you can always find it online.
On the other hand, shopping online can be dangerous because there are many fake sites and you can lose your money. You can also be addicted to shopping online, and you buy unnecessary things without stopping.
From my point of view, shopping only is a good way to go shopping, but we can´t forget to go out and have a good time shopping with our family or friends!
Nowadays, online shopping is a very comfortable way to buy any kind of products like food, clothes, cosmetics, plane tickets, electronic devices, etc. Lots of people use online shopping because this way they waste less time, they can find a big variety of products and because there are better prices than in the stores. About myself, even if I like wearing new clothes, going shopping is a nightmare for me. In the future, I´m sure I´ll choose the online shopping instead of store shopping. There are disadvantages about online shopping, too. You can´t try what you buy, sometimes the products get lost on the way or the online payments are not always secure.
ResponderEliminarI usually buy online every week, it is very easy and comfortable. I buy online because you don´t need to move to the shops, and in my case, I need to move to another town, too. Another advantage is that, sometimes, the objects are cheaper online than in a physical shop. It has many inconveniences, too, like you don´t know if the object that you have ordered is the object that you are going to receive. Finally, I think that it is a very useful way to buy, but you must be careful.

ResponderEliminarI use to buy thing online, but I think you must be careful because sometimes the website isn't safe and it just want to take your money. In this case, you pay the article, but it won't arrive, so you could lose money.
Shopping online is easier for many people than shopping in the real shopping.
ResponderEliminarSome people say that you can buy whatever you want in many websites. In addition you can find different prices on the webs and they can send the things at home.
On the other hand, you can get the wrong thing item, it can take a long time to get the item you bought or they can take your money and not send you the item you bought.
From my point of view, shopping online is better.

Each day, thousands of people buy online. This can be because this way to shopping is faster and easier than shopping in real shops.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, almost of the things that we need in our diary life, we can buy them online, and for us is easier and faster because we do not go out of our home and we can buy from food to electronic things, and more. In this way, the buyers save money, for example, they do not need neither a car nor oil.
On the other hand, for the people that work in real shops, if this situation of shopping online continuous and increases, shops can close and this people will lose their job. Besides, there are more contamination, because for all the things that we buy online, it needs a transport or most of them, if our shop comes of other country.
In my opinión, I think that buy online is a good idea to do our shop, but if we can, we should try to go to real shops to do it.

ResponderEliminarNowadays, buying online is very popular. There are many people who buy online because it is very comfortable and has many advantages. Although it can also be dangerous and have many disadvantages.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, buying online has many advantages. Online we can buy all kinds of products such as: food, clothing, electronic things, plane flights … In online stores, there are usually more offers and variety of products than in the store. In addition, for people with physical disabilities it is more difficult to go to real stores and prefer to buy online.
On the other hand, buying online has many disadvantages. In real stores we can see, touch and try on the clothes, things that we can’t do online. In addition, if everyone buys online the real stores will disappear and the workers would lose their job. Besides, by making an online payment through an insecure transaction, you may be exposed to fraud or identity theft.
In my opinion, I think that buy online is a good idea, perhaps because it is easier and faster because you don't have to go to the shop. Although I also think you have to be careful where we buy and the kind of things.

ResponderEliminarToday on Internet you can buy almost everything with a smartphone or a computer. It's easier and you can buy without leaving home. It's easier and faster to pay, but you must wait a small period of time. We have to be careful with where we are buying because there are lots of fake pages. These pages can steal your money. But on the hand, the small trade is forced to close because of the lack of buyers or must be part of digital era. I think for clothes it's better to go to a shop and try it on for higher comfort and security. You wait in the line and have the clothes instantly.

ResponderEliminarNowdays the online shoppings are the new fashion. There are a lot of people buying on internet, perhaps because it is easier and faster because you don't have to go to the shop and you have the clothes in you house in a small period of time.
ResponderEliminarFor one part buy online is good and for other are bad.
For the part that are good, is because the client don't lost a lot of time searching in different shops that he want, because it probabli that in one don't have, that stay spent or in the case of the clothes that in this shops there aren't of your size, and then you must to go to other and you lost a lot of time searching that do you want, displacing the one shops to other, or that in this shops there aren't but in the shops of the other city or town yes. In this case the online shopping are more good because you stay in your house and it more possible thet stay in this shops, because you are looking one web were stay the cataloge of all of shops of this brand, and in some minutes you have bought that do you want.
For the negative part is that if the people leave of go shopping to the physical shops the most possible is that in the future they disapered and the people that works here lost his work.
In my opnion, I like to buy online because it's more fast and if that you have bought don't stay good you can return and buy new this with the correct size, and the money return to you.
I hate going shopping, it causes me stress with people around and when I can´t find what I want, but I love buying new things, especially clothes.
ResponderEliminarThanks to online shopping I can buy things that I like, find them at the moment, compare prices, and without people around. Also, one of the best advantages is that you can buy at the time and place that you want, without the need to move.
Another advantage is that we can request products from other countries, that maybe we don´t know to find in physical shops in Spain. However, a disadvantage is that we have to control very well where we buy, because it is very easy that someone steals us, so we have to be very careful.
