The use of online shopping will increase and will occupy the place of shops in towns and cities. However, a lot of people do not like online shopping, including me, because of the scams and others things.
The reason I agree with the opinion, because, the internet is taking over everything these days, the use and elevation of website is rapidly in use. The online shopping is in usage for their convenient and comfort. A lot of people use it because of how easily they can get wide range of stuffs from different towns. This is just in new steps. For example, if a person is workaholic and do not have time to eat or to shop and he/she has an important function to attend, so they can get a dress from application, but it takes a lot of time to get it delivered at your place and it also is costs a lot.
On the other hand, why the online platforms will not takeover shops, because a lot of people in towns and cities prefer going physical and shop for themselves, also it is a way through which you spend quality time with your family. However, there are a lot of scams going on in the name of online shopping to by shopping from the stores you can save yourself to get into such traps set by scammers. For example, one of my friend she was shopping for her farewell party from online shopping apps, but when she put her card details in the app, she started to see random transactions made from her card and she lost her money, In addition, she got a lot of stress and anxiety. I myself prefer shopping from malls because I can see the quality of the stuffs. Also, I can try on clothes and I can get discount from bargaining too. There are a lot of benefits from shopping from markets.
To conclude, I wanna say I do not understand the people who can blindly trust online brands to get their stuffs from. I do not think that online shopping will take place of most stores in the future, in any place in the world, because majority of the people loves to buy things by seeing it physically and trying it on by themselves.
