With the ever rapid development of science and technology, more and more people tend to buy something new online.

   Attitudes towards online shopping vary from person to person. Some hold that it is very convenient and efficient to shop online for most people. There are several reasons to support their ideas. To begin with, they deem that there are various commodities on the internet to choose from. If you want to buy one thing, you just need to click the mouse to get all information you want. Next, commodities online are much cheaper than stores which you can save money. In addition, some students believe that shopping online can save a great deal of time on the way between home and stores, which they would be able to concentrate more time and energy on their academic work. Eventually, the Internet has shorten the distance between manufactures and consumers and thus we can even buy goods in other counries.

  However, other people stand on a different ground. They seem to consider it not so good to buy goods online. As far as they are concerned, internet has been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life, it has brought lots of benefits but created some serious problems as well. The first disadvantage of online shopping is that consumers can't see goods or try them on personally, which will lead to great differences between what you get and what you imagine. The second disadvantage is that some stores on the internet are not registered. Shopkeepers won't deliver anything to you after they get money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain. In a word, lack of face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy.
