Online shopping good or bad?
By mysticalmoonray - Posted on February 22nd, 2006
With at least one computer in nearly every home in America, most have found the convience of online shopping, now we can purchase everything from dog food to shampoo right online, but is it a good thing? Sure we can get our items shipped to our homes, however theres always the chance things can get damaged or lost, may not arrive on time, or not be exactly as described. Myself, I've purchased many textbooks online and other things such as craft supplies, its more convient in some places to just go online to purchase things instead of going to the store. How many of us do it? Are we satistified with what we get, especially bought site-unseen.
Online shopping is very convenient. And it is a risk that people take when pruchasing something on the internet. That is the very reason that some people were hesitent about online shopping. For example, my brothers and I convinced my aunt to get high speed internet and she learned about ebay. In the past money she's bought two tvs and a glider. Today she went online and bid on tv just for fun expecting it to say bid again. instead she won the bid and got the tv. She was freaking out about what she did and we're all having a blast and making fun of her saying she's an addict.
