Assignment #1: Shopping Carts?

1.The 2 biggest reasons people still shop at stores is because they want to determine if  the product suits them before they leave the store.Another reason is that online shipping takes more time than going out to the local store and purchasing the product they require.
2.People shop online because it is so  much more simpler than going out to the local store. Instead of travelling to and from the store and shopping inside the store,you can wait on your coach for your purchase to arrive.People who have a tight schedule may not have time to shop in the store, so they shop online and save time.
3.I would prefer to buy in store so that I would be certain that the purchase suits my needs.I would also enjoy in store purchasing because it's a much more social experience.
4.Internet shopping will be the only form of shopping in 2050 because it is much cheaper to use the Internet than to go to your local mall and go through it to find the product that one seeks.Internet shopping will waste less time allowing you to quickly find the product you need than instead of  visiting the mall and sifting among all the products.
5.I believe that this a smart business choice because time marches on and digital communication between other people outside the traditional from of communication has been on the increase since the start of the industrial revolution.So I believe switching to delivering products that people purchase online is a very smart business decision,as in the near future this form of business will be worth a significant amount of money. However I don't image sending mail will become obsolete, as this would have happened when the Email was invented.
6.An easier way to return a product rather than returning it to the store is by sending it through the mail and removing the middle man from the equation i.e.the local business location and shipping the product back to fix the issue or get the type of product that suits your needs.
