The shopping process has changed so much over the years. People had to go to a store to look at the options for clothing, food, electronics, and supplies but now, we are able to use our phones and laptops to order anything we want or need and it shows up to our doorstep. The process has become a lot simpler and time efficient. It is interesting to think of a time before online shopping was a possibility. There was a sense of self necessity that motivated people to shop for their needs and wants. As a result of how convenient online shopping is, people start to buy more things that they want. Before, people used to be more focused with their shopping habits and purchased what they needed before what they wanted.

The process of going to a shop to buy something is time consuming but it lets you see the options of items for yourself before you buy them. Although you can see the image of an item when you shop online, you can’t touch it, feel it, taste it and smell it. That’s the unavoidable disadvantage when it comes to online shopping, you can never be sure that the imagine represents you imagination of the item. For all the pros and cons, online shopping plays a part in how our shopping culture has evolved over the years. Although, online shopping is becoming the preferred method of shopping for most people nowadays, people should still experience the full process of going out, selecting and buying things for themselves. It’s always a better experience, to explore different stores spontaneously and stumble across a cool piece of clothing or book or restaurant that you like. It’s also a great way to give a story behind how you got something. Whereas, if you only shopped online, you don’t have the opportunity to have a story behind the things you buy.
