One of the phenomena these days is online shopping. The improvement in the internet and telecommunication contribute to spreading the online shopping. Online shopping can help a lot of people and companies who do not have stores to show their products. Also, it helps the company to show their products in a fancy way. Most big companies these days have a lot of offers that you can find in the internet and you cannot find in the store. Now, there are many arguments about whether online shopping is bad or good. Thus, online shopping has popularity in the entire world.
In my opinion, the online shopping is great things for many reasons. First, we can buy products easily. Second, we can get great deals from the websites. Third, we can guarantee our security.
First, we can buy products in easy way. This point makes most people like the online shopping. According to George Ball’s article (2008), “Online shopping has become a convenient alternative to the traditional brick-and-mortar store. It has provided a method of easily finding what you're looking for” (parp. 1). In addition, online shopping will help people who have special satiation such as handicap and obesity people. They always complain that cannot find clothes fit to them. Because of the progress in the internet and the websites of the big companies these people can find what they want easily. As a result, online shopping is providing easy way to find the products.
Moreover, we can get the best price from our homes. Many of the websites make this move to support their websites and have more consumers. This move make people tend to buy online more. In addition, online shopping is really timesaver and permissible to have a best price from any stores or websites shopping. They imitate the internet as hyper mall; you can find any stuff or product you need. For example, there are a lot of stores buying groceries and clothing (Rebertson, 2006) .Also, they make their websites fabulous and well-organized to drive the consumer buy more. Thus, they can offer all the products they have and you can find it great deals in press the bottom.
Finally, we can guarantee our security. That point is really weak but we can make it strong if we follow the websites instructions. Ball (2008, para. 2) writes, “In fact online shopping is quite safe, as long as you follow precautions. According to the director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, the majority of identity theft occurred off-line with criminals intercepting mail or skimming data from carelessly discarded credit card receipts.” Now, there are many companies provide security consultant to the websites shopping. In addition, these security consultants provide the guarantee for your account and your personal information. As a result, protecting our account and shopping is one of the amazing things in the online shopping.
Opponents of we can guarantee our security in these online shopping claims that there are a lot of consumers lost their money because they buy products online or went to internet auction. In fact, consumers usually look for the less price and who they get merchandise in easy way without buying the shipping for example. All these companies and websites usually fake they just try to grab the dump people or who do not have experiences to deal with computer. Epinions.com (2008, para. 2) says, “Yes,your credit card information can be stolen. Yes, it’s possible for this to escalate into a case of indentify theft. But, online shopping is the best invention since... well, since shopping, and you just can’t pass it up. I’m here to tell you that yes, you can shop the internet safely, if you use your head”.
In conclusion, providing easy way to find the products, they can offer all the products they have and you can find it great deals, and providing security to our account and shopping are three ways that make the online shopping is perfect and popular. Online shopping it will be improve more and more and will compete the tradition store. I hope the telecommunication and technology improve more and we can try the product before
