Living in the 21st century, times have changed and people are more likely to do online shopping as it is more convenient, and easily accessible from the comfort of your home. Almost anyone can shop online and it is easier to compare prices between two shops without the tiresome walking from one store to another. It is also possible to browse more easily from kids, women to men's without trying to find a store and wasting energy. Payment can be completed in a few minutes, unlike in the mall, where there may be a long queue for the cashier. Overall, online shopping is more convenient and would most likely become more and more popular over the years.

With the extreme advance in technology that this world has come to, most things are accessible through the Internet, like online shopping. With this, one does not have to drive all the way to a shopping mall to buy products. They simply have to turn on their home computer and shop for whatever they like, in the comfort of their home. Furthermore, some do not like to visit the shopping mall as they do not like big crowds that push you from here to there, especially when there is a big sale. It is also easily used by children and adults. Also, one can pay in a matter of minutes, whereas in a shopping mall, there will probably be a long queue.

Although online shopping may be convenient, i feel that it makes one lazy to walk around. I find joy from shopping at shopping malls and there are other customers around me. I can also look for shopkeepers and get answers to my inquiries straightaway. If i feel that the prices are too high, i can bargain and hopefully get a lower price. Also, at shopping malls there are food stores that i can take a break from shopping at. At shopping malls, there are also some great sales that i can take advantage of. Therefore, i feel that shopping malls should not be replaced by online shopping in the future.

Shopping online will only makes one lazy and dependent on the internet. How if the internet has a bug? What would one do if they wanted to shop? Shopping in person also allows you to spend time with family members and friends. Going to shop at a mall is better because if you were to have some inquiries, they would be answer immediately and also you would be able to check the quality of items unlike online where you just have to trust the seller with their words. Some online sellers are not truthful and they might cheat you. Whereas, shopping in person will ensure you that the quality of items are true to its word.

Shopping at the mall will not b replaced by online shopping in years to come because I believe shopping at the mall is much better than online shopping. My reason for this is because for online shopping, the buyer can be cheated easily as the person he is purchasing the item from is anonymous and if he wants to catch the offender, it will not be easy to do so and he may need to go through a tedious task by reporting the situation to the police and may need to wait for a few weeks or perhaps months to catch the offender and get back the money he paid the offender for his item.Whereas while shopping in the mall, it would be quite difficult to cheat the person into buying an item.

Online shopping will not replace shopping at the shopping mall as shopping at the mall can help you release stress and gives you a reason for not being cooped up at home. When you go to the mall, you can check if the things you are about to buy are good or not. You can also catch last minute sales and bargain for cheaper prices and if you need assistance, a shop keeper will be at your service immediately.

Shopping at the mall will not be replaced as shopping at the mall is more fun than online shopping and online shopping is not very reliable because there may be websites which are not reliable but when shopping at the mall, you can always ask anyone behind the counter if there are any queries.

There is nothing like the feeling of buying something from the store and walking out of the mall with your spoils, not only that, you can have lots of fun trying on clothes! Also, you friends and you can have a blast shopping together and have fun!

I feel that shopping at the mall should not be replaced by online shopping. Although online shopping may be more convenient as we do not have to be caught in crowds, I still feel that shopping at the mall should not be replaced by online shopping. When we do online shopping, it could be risky and dangerous as we might get cheated by some fake websites. Shopping online could also be a disadvantage as they might charge shipping fee sometimes what they sell online might be more expensive than when you buy it at a mall. Sometimes, when we are shopping online for clothes for an example, it may seem fitting or it might be you size but you will never know if it fits until you try it on. Shopping at the mall is advantageous as we are able to see what we are buying and if we need any help, we are able to ask for assistance on the spot. Shopping at the malls can also be more enjoyable as we are able to go out with our friends. Thus, this is why I think that shopping at the mall should not be replaced by online shopping.

I think that shopping at the mall should not be replaced by online shopping in years to come. Online shopping is convenient as we can do it in the comfort of our homes. However, it also has its disadvantages. When we shop online, we have to trust the seller’s words, and there is also shipping fees. Shopping at the mall has its benefits as we are able to see what we are buying, if we need any help, we are able to clarify any queries and we can also bargain for a lower price. Shopping at the mall is also fun as we are able to spend time with our friends or family.

No. Even though online shopping may be much more convenient than going to the official store itself. I think that many people would still choose to go the flagship store, instead because online shopping also has its downslides, if the size is not chosen correctly one will have to return to the store itself for the exchange. I think this would be much easier to just go to the store itself, going to the store can allow the consumers to feel and pick out if they like the fabrics, because the clothes may look nice on the computer but have bad quality materials.

I feel that shopping online is more unsafe as you are unable to meet the actual seller. The seller may also not be trustworthy as it is very easy to lie online. However, going to an actual shop, you are able to meet the actual seller and you are also able to look at the physical product.

i think people prefer to go to shopping malls as they are able to see what they are about to buy first hand. At times, they are even allowed to try them on, and bargain for discounts. but it may be easier to shop in the comforts of our home, we can see a larger variety, and they usual don't run out of any sizes. Although, it takes a longer time arrive, rather than buying it on the spot. they are many risks when it comes to online shopping, this includes the fact that they might give use the wrong size or colour, online shopping is not always reliable.
