I think I go to a coffee shop quite often now, especially since I started university, because sometimes we really need to relax and recover. I do think that more people go to coffee shops nowadays than in the past because we now have longer working hours, especially since people started working from home. We are also becoming more reliant on caffeine to keep ourselves awake. I think coffee shops are more popular with young people because, first, we can get better coffee there, and we enjoy coffee. Besides, I think young people view coffee shops not just as places to buy coffee but as gathering spots. You can see people working or even having study sessions in coffee shops. Older people, on the other hand, might not see coffee shops in the same way; they may not treat them as gathering places. I don't think I would own a coffee shop in the future because I actually don't know how to make coffee, and I think it would be better for me to buy coffee to save time.
