Internet shopping has become possible because of the evolution of e-commerce. It consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic systems such as the Internet and other computer networks.

Online shopping has numerous advantages for the customers. First, one can get the best bargain as the Internet gives the opportunity to look at offers of many stores such as Freshpair.com, StrawberryNet, SkinCareRx, Amazon.com and many others. You can buy everything what you want: jewelry or clothing, sporting goods or toiletries, hardware or car spares. Second, one can save time. Online stores are usually available 24 hours a day, and many consumers have Internet access both at work and at home. To visit a conventional store one needs time and it must take place during business hours. Searching or browsing an online catalog can be faster than browsing the aisles of a physical store. Third, one can avoid crowded malls.

Nevertheless, there are some disadvantages, too. To begin with, some old consumers find computers hard to use. Second, not all online retailers have made their sites easy to use or reliable. Third, one cannot inspect the guality of the product before buying it, so the risk of fraud is much higher in on-line shopping than in  conventional shopping.

Tastes differ. And you can choose what you want.
