"Compare/Contrast Online shopping with Traditional shopping"

We as a society have made it virtually impossible to survive without the newest and quickest ways to do the things in our everyday life. Most people use the internet for work, research or socializing. Now we use the internet for shopping as well. When looking at shopping online, there are some down falls to virtual stores that traditional stores can offer its costumers. When considering the connivance of shopping online verses the old way of driving to the store, parking and pushing around a shopping cart, there are many similarities and a few differences. When you have a hectic and busy day ahead, working long hours, can't find a babysitter, then shopping online is a great option because it can be time effective and done at home. The world of online shopping can make it easier to compare prices. Instead of having to drive from store to store, you can simple switch from window to window on your computer. Online shoppers also benefit when it comes to comparison shopping. Online shopping has grown to new heights over the last decade and shows no signs of slowing down. The internet has brought practically every store in the world to the fingertips of anyone who has access to the internet
Another benefit of online shopping is its convenience, while others are out fighting traffic, crowds, and standing in lines. Others are home relaxing. Online shoppers can go from store to store checking sales, by clicking a mouse on their computer. Traditional shoppers have to walk from store to store or drive. They have to drive from place to place, and stand in lines waiting to be checked out. This can be exhausting and stressful. The online shoppers can search the planet, while the traditional shoppers have limited to small areas. If you enjoy being around people and crowds, then traditional shopping is for you.
