Buying on-line vs. traditional buying Currently, everybody can buy anything on the internet. Thirty years ago, this system didn't exist and the traditional way to buy something was in physical stores. Nowadays, almost everyone has a credit card and they could use their credit card to purchase. On the one hand, online shopping has certain advantages. To start with, online shopping is usually more convenient than traditional shopping. Instead of waiting in a queue in a shop or waste your time to try to park, you can make a purchase online from your home or anywhere, if you have an internet connection. It's a fact that many shopping centers are crowded and its shops is untidy. Besides, you can find a lot of products on the website. For example, if you are looking for cars, you can take a look at all its features. The price, color, years of warranty, technology, etc. However, if you visit the shop, normally you don't share a jacket in many shopping centers. On the other hand, online shopping almost has its disadvantages. A lot of people prefer to see, touch and feel the product. Nowadays, you can't smell perfume or cologne on the internet. Furthermore, neither can't you try on clothes in changing rooms. In a traditional shop, you can choose what jacket you want and try it on different sizes. So, you can know what jacket fits you. Comprehensively, there are some disadvantages and advantages. In my opinion, both of them can be helpful. Sometimes you need to buy something that you can't find in the store and you decide to look for the product on the internet. Whereas, sometimes you feel like to go window-shopping or go shopping physically.
