In this first-world society and rapidly evolving world, many use technology for almost everything, including shopping.

There are 2 reasons why shopping at the mall be replaced by online shopping in years to come. Firstly, online shopping is extremely convenient. You can purchase products 24/7 in the comfort of your own home. Your online shopping will not waste your precious time and affect your hectic lifestyle.

Secondly, we can shop cheaply when we shop on the internet. Unlike the usual physical shopping experience, we will be able to compare the prices of the products we are looking for and do not have to visit every store to save some money.

The world is advancing in many different ways, especially in technology. The world has become more modern and many people's lives depend on technology. With technology advancing at a very rapid pace, I have no doubt that online shopping will replace shopping malls in the near future. Shipping will be more efficient and online shops will have new facilities to further improve their shops and gain the trust of customers. We might be against online shopping as there are cons to it, but we must face reality, the world is advancing and people are changing as well. Who would honestly want to take a long walk to a mall when you could simply stay at home and just click a few buttons before you can purchase your desired item. I believe that online shopping will definitely make the world a better place. It also makes the lives of home bound people much easier as they would not have to travel so much and introverts will not need to fear meeting people and having conversations with them when in the mall.

I do think shopping at the mall will be replaced by online shopping, but not at any time soon.

Considering how the roles of living things, such as pets, have been supplanted by robots, with present day technology and resources, I believe that it is definitely possible for physical shopping to be replaced by virtual shopping. People prefer going to malls for the real feel of clothes and the lovely atmosphere. But society is getting lazier and lazier. Soon, majority of people would go for online shopping (which would have upgraded pretty much) instead of taking the time and energy to go to the mall.

Take maps or street directories for an example. Nowadays, most people just use their smart-phones to navigate, or even to see which restaurants they are near to.

Thus, online shopping will somewhat be replaced by shopping at the mall.

I do not think that online shopping will replace shopping at the mall. Even though there are some people who prefer the comfort of their home to shop, there will always be people who want the experience of going out and shopping, who love the atmosphere of the crowds. If they are stuck on what to choose, they can ask salespeople to help them decide. Online shopping does not provide that atmosphere of the hustle and bustle and the experience is entirely different. There is no rush and the sense of excitement of online shopping. That is why I think that online shopping will not replace shopping at the mall.

I think that shopping at the mall will not be replaced by online shopping as shopping at the mall and shopping online are two very different things. Shopping at the mall is better as it has a greater variety of things to choose from than online shopping. Also, there are many online credit card scams nowadays and it is a safer and better option to shop in the shopping mall than shopping online to prevent getting cheated out of their money. Lastly, it is also better to shop in the mall as you can get your purchased items immediately, as for shopping online it may take a longer time for one to deliver the goods to you, making it a hassle. Hence, I think that shopping in the mall will not be replaced by online shopping in the years to come.

Although many people do in fact enjoy online shopping, there are still many people who would shop at the mall. When shopping at the mall, most of the time, you can try it on, and see if it fits, whereas you cannot try on something online. Being able to try it on, can help in your decision to buy it, as you can confirm that it is the right size, and it looks nice on you, saving you time if you ever need to exchange the item bought online. Also, you can check for any defects on the item physically, at the mall, but can't online.

All in all, I believe that shopping at the mall will not be replaced by online shopping in the future.

I do not think that online shopping will replace shopping in the mall in the years to come. Even though many people are starting to shop online, there are still people who like the feeling of shopping in the mall. Shopping in the mall also allows friends to hang out together but shopping online does not allow friends to hang out. shopping in the mall also gives people the excitement. there might also be more choices and varieties of shops compared to online shopping. there might also be salespeople to help us to choose of we are stuck.

Because some people that are social butterflies will always want to go to the mall and find new friends. Many teens also prefer to go out with their friends than stay at home with their friends AND parents, so they will choose a nice cooling place where you can get whatever you want (most of it). And shopping at the mall is better because you can pick out the stuff and have them right away instead of having to wait like, twelve days before the stuff you bought FINALLY comes.

I do not think shopping at the mall be replaced by online shopping in years to come. Online shopping is very different from shopping online at the mall and as some people prefer shopping physically or do not know how to shop online, they will continue to shop in malls. Some people prefer shopping physically whereas some people do not. It is all a matter of preference.

I don't think shopping at the mall will be replaced by online shopping as some people prefer the feeling of reality when they shop, and not just a virtual feeling where you don't get to try anything, touch anything, you only get to look at the picture of the merchandise and decide whether you want to buy it or not. Though some people prefer to shop in the comfort of their home, without the noise and bustling of people in the mall, most of the other people do like the feeling of people around in the mall so they'll prefer shopping in the mall.

online shopping has its disadvantages too. For example, when you do online shopping, you might be cheated of your merchandise by them however cheaper it may be compared to the one at the mall. With so many people used to the feeling of real shopping in the mall, and some people even love it, I think shopping at the mall will not be replaced by online shopping.

I do not support shopping online because there are many disadvantages for example if we buy a dress, we do not know our size and the picture might not be accurate. There could be some dangerous sites too and this sites might trick us. When we are shopping online, we do not know the quality of the product and the product might turn up not what we wanted it to be. There are many disadvantages of online shopping so I think online shopping will not replace the mall as we get to see the products in the mall and will be more sure of it.

I do not think shopping at the mall should be replaced with online shopping in years to come as although online shopping is more convenient,but shopping at the mall would be more fun as you can bond with your family and friends which helps relations draw closer.

I once ordered a blouse from a website and when the blouse came,the blouse was the size for a toddler and online shopping has more scams and as the goods cannot be refundable,you will waste money if you get tricked.Thus,I do not think shopping at the mall should be replaced with online shopping

No. People go to the mall to spend time with their family and to bond together. If everyone goes online to shop, then there's not much point in spending time together. Also, online shopping has many fake websites, which would take your money but not give the product. Shopping at the mall is safer as store assistants would usually give a receipt so that you can get a refund if the product is faulty

I do not agree.There would still be people who loves to shop, looking around the environment, stopping to have some snacks or tea.Also,when people go overseas,they would want to look at that country's shopping centres,see the way how the people there live and the types of decorations around the whole shopping mall.When there is a festive season, some people like to go to the shopping malls bustling with people, to buy they goodies, and to have the mood for the upcoming season.

Shopping at the mall allows us to try on the clothes and consider before buying them to prevent regret after purchasing the clothes and have a physical visual and touch of the items and everything can be settled there and we don't have to wait for the delivery to arrive.
