Will the growth of online shopping one day lead to all shops in towns and cities closing?

Some people believe that <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a</s>the current trend of <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">more and more</s>increasing retail purchases through the internet will ultimately result in the shutting down of all physical stores. I strongly disagree with this opinion, as I think online shopping will improve our shopping experiences at physical <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">stops</s>stores.

Firstly, people usually tend to prefer seeing and touching the real goods before paying for them. Most of the time, we can only imagine what <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a</s>the real product will be like by watching pictures and videos online. If we really want to buy an unfamiliar product, we are likely to see the product in person first to verify our expectations. That can definitely save our time on returning unsuitable purchases due to false expectations.

Secondly, physical stores are more convenient and, <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">gradually</s>increasingly, more competitive on price. A common <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">and frustrative case</s>source of frustration for physical markets is that after people see the real goods and decide to buy, they <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">go </s>immediately check<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">ing</s> for other offers<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">available prices </s>online <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">right </s><s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);">immediately </s>via their mobile phone, and place an order online if the price is lower there. However, people will sometimes pay a higher price to get those goods immediately at physical stores <s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);">sometimes </s>because they don’t want to wait one or two more days to get the goods delivered<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">, they want to get the goods at once</s>. In addition, some physical shops these days have a <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">provide </s>price <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">deduction </s>matching policy if customers show them <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">the</s>a lower price online<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> nowadays</s>.

In conclusion, the growing trend of online purchasing <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">seems</s>will [Note: This is edit here is mainly stylistic.

In order words, the growth of online shopping will not lead to all physical shops closing but encourage the physical ones to enhance their competitiveness in the future.
