With information technology developing more rapidly and computers getting more widely used, more mo-
dern people tend to shop online rather than go to shopping malls.
Many people argue that shopping on the Internet has its superiority for the following reasons. First
of all, online shopping is not dependent on some variables such as weather, place, and time-we can
shop online in spite of nasty weather, we can buy goods from a seller thousands miles away, and we
can make a deal even at midnight. What's more, it saves us much valuable time because we don't have
to walk from one shop to another to compare prices. Last but not least, we can make decisions on our
own without being harassed by salespeople's endless persuasion.
Personally, I believe we should remain a sober mind as to the issue. Another side of online shopping
is not to be ignored. For instance, it is hard for us to demand a refund if the goods are defective.
However, the development of science and technology is by no means unuseful. The key lies in the
user-so long as we can make proper use of it, it can be most helpful to us in many respects.
