Yes, I think that shopping at the mall would be replaced by online shopping. By shopping online, it is easier and less time consuming than going to the mall. Most of the time, it is also cheaper to buy stuff online although shipping fees might be charged. Online shops also has a wider variety of items in the store as it shows the buyer most of the products unlike when you go to the store itself. Hence, I feel that online shopping would replace shopping at the mall.

Yes I think that shopping at the mall will be replaced by shopping online since it is much easier and much more convenient since you can do it in the comfort of your home. It is also easy because you just need to type what you want and the results will show up with anything relevant to what you are looking for.

I think online shopping will be replaced by mall shopping in years to come because now days young children are like so obsessed with their gadgets and computers.By looking at them,probably next time in years to come,mall shopping will be replaced.By using online shopping,we will know whether the product you want to buy is sold out or not.If it is mall shopping,you go to he stall and find out it is sold out,then you just wasted your time making your way to the mall.

Yes. Online shopping is extremely popular nowadays. When online shopping, the shopper is able to search for specific products within a short time. The shopper is also able to compare prices and products easily and quickly. Online shopping is convenient than shopping in a mall and therefore many people shop online.

Day by day, people are getting lazier( I am so sorry) to go out, so they would choose to shop online for its convenience. So yes, I think shopping at the mall will be replaced by online shopping. (Though I prefer shopping at the mall)

I think that it will be replaced as many people think that it is more convenient to buy what they need from a n online store . Also, you can buy the things you need from any part of the world and you do not need to specifically travel there to buy the product. Another pro of online shopping is that you can do it on the go and do not need to make time to go to the shop to buy the product .

Side: Yes

I feel that people are becoming lazier and wouldn't really like to get on their own two feet and go to the shopping mall when they can just stay at home and shop online. Online shopping saves time and that time saved can be used to do something else more productive. It is also faster and more efficient.

Even though i don't like shopping, i am of the view that shopping at the mall is much more fun then shopping online. Online, you have to endlessly scroll though different pages and websites to find anything you want and the prices are often lowered to make you think the prices are cheaper however most of the time they don't mention the shipping fees until you are paying or it would be in small print. In the mall you are immediately try on the clothes or items if they don't fit you can immediately change the size but online its mostly guesswork on whether it would be comfortable on you. And you have to wait to get your purchase when if you buy it from the mall you can get it immediately.

Side: No

No, I think that shopping at the mall will not be replaced by online shopping because although that a lot of people nowadays are going more on the internet than to shopping malls but i feel more people like me still want to have the feeling of being able to see what we are buying. We can also bargain for a lower price and even have better discounts. Online shopping's bad point is we cannot see what we are buying so we might get cheated. E.g. The size is different as said or the dress doesn't look like what we saw on the internet etc. Base on all this reasons, i think online shopping will never replace shopping malls.

You will have to pay for the shipping fees and some online websites are not reliable. There are more varieties at the shopping mall and at the shopping mall you can immediately take it home while if you shop online you have to wait for your clothes to come. You can try the sizes at the shopping mall for clothes and shoes while for online shopping you cant and if you buy the wrong size you pay money to buy it again. So thats why i think that shopping in shopping malls are better than online shopping.

Unlike many people, I do not think that shopping at the mall will be replaced by online shopping. Even though online shopping is very popular, many teenagers love to shop but don't have credit cards to shop online. Especially since they don't want to ask their parents to shop for them. Therefore I feel that online shopping will not and should not be taking over shopping at the mall

Side: No

I think that online shopping will not be replaced by shopping in the mall. Because for online shopping , we have to use credit card as a form of payment. However as teenagers , our parents do not normally trust us with the usage of credit card. And therefore it is harder for us to shop online unless our parents agree.(which usually they do not) However for shopping at the mall , as long as you have cash , you can buy anything you want. You do not need to use a credit card. And we can also shop with our friends and see the dress or whatever we want to buy in person and be able to try it on and see if it looks good on you or if it can fit. I personally only do online shopping when the clothes i really want is unavailable for my purchase in Singapore , for example Bethany Mota clothes. Even though online shopping is quite convenient for me like you can shop 24/7 , i still prefer shopping in the mall rather than online shopping as you can go there and feel the actual material of the clothes and if you find the price too expensive , you can even bargain with the shop owner! And whenever you feel the rush after purchasing your item in the mall , it is incomparable to when you shop online.

Firstly, online shopping may not be available to everyone and there should still be physical malls to go to for the shopping experience. Even though the online shopping mall idea started by the 16-year-old boy is great as you can shop online in comfort of your own home, with your friends virtually, you don't get to meet the and physically see their face, interact and see how they have grown. Maybe 10000 years from now it will happen but technology hasn't reached to the ends of the earth yet and definately not in years to come. I feel that both online shopping and real life shopping at the mall will both happen I years to come as different types of people prefer online shopping and real-life shopping and that shopping the mall will be REPLACED completely.

Online shopping will replace shopping at the mall. Online shopping is far easier than shopping at the mall as you do not need to go all the way to a particular store or various shops or shopping malls just to find one certain item. Instead if you shop online you can browse through many shops at the same time and compare prices instantly. It i also easier to pay for the item online where it is just clicks away instead of queuing up for a long time to pay. There is also a greater variety online compare to shopping malls where items may go out of stock. If you find online shops unreliable you can always look for reviews whereas at shopping malls you should not ask the attendant there as they usually would want to promote their items and give untrue reviews. At the rate which technology is revolutionizing, online shopping will as well.

No, i do not think shopping at the mall will be replaced by online shopping. It is true that some people like shopping in the comfort of their homes, as they can compare more prices faster, purchase their items faster, without any long queues. But many others like going to shopping malls to shop. It is mostly for the enjoyment , the fun of trying fancy clothes and shoes on.People also like to go out shopping with their friends, sometimes so they can get a friend's opinion, immediately, on the item they would like to purchase.Or some people look at shopping as a way to get new clothes and to spend quality time with their friends.There might also be better discounts when shopping in the mall.There might even be those one day sales which you cannot get online. While shopping, maybe something catches your eye, and you really like it.You were not specifically looking for it, but you see it, you buy it, and you don't regret it. That's another advantage of shopping at the mall. You can also consult the salesperson immediately if you have a question about an item. In conclusion,I don't think shopping at the mall will be replaced by online shopping anytime soon, and for evidence, just drop by any mall. There are always people around, and that number doesn't seem to be dwindling.

I do not think that shopping in the mall will be replaced by online shopping n years to come. Even though online shopping is more convenient, shopping in the mall is still more fun as you can enjoy the in-store sales. You can also try on the clothes and shoes before purchasing as you may not like how it fits on you. You can also have a fun time with your friends when you go out to shop without your parents. You can't get the same feel from shopping through a computer, from shopping in the mall
