The internet has brought about a revolution in many aspects of our daily lives, with social media,
internet banking and changes to the way education is carried out in our classrooms. Another area
of change caused by the internet revolution is in the way people shop; they now have a choice
between online and in-store shopping. One advantage of online shopping is that purchases are
delivered directly to your door and so you don’t have to carry goods, which might be heavy,
through town or on a bus or train. Conventional shops have to pay for things like shelving units
and décor, and sometimes elaborate displays, whereas online items are stored in basic out-of-town
warehouses with much lower overhead costs. This means that goods purchased online are often
cheaper than those bought in shops. Because there is no need to leave your home to shop online,
it is much quicker than in-store shopping; the weekly groceries for an entire family can be bought
in a matter of minutes. This means that time is freed up for people to do more interesting things.
After all, wandering around a supermarket is a very boring activity. Instead of grocery shopping
together, families can spend their precious time at weekends or in the evenings going to a park,
beach or gallery. (217 words)
