As of 2016, consumer can shop online using a range of electronic devices. One of the advantages of online shopping is that it brings convenience to consumers, while the disadvantage is the loss of consumer power. 
   Convenience is the main benefit which could not be overlooked in online shopping. Consumers are able to make purchases from a wide range of websites offering the best deals of products and services. This hassle-free shopping method saves time, cost and energy as a transaction is done with just a click. For instance, e-books can be accessed immediately right after online payment, instead of travelling all the way to bookstores and hunt for our wishlist. It is shown that online shopping indeed comes in handy as it gives us the freedom and opportunity to shop at our own pace.
  Despite the convenience of online shopping, consumers are lack in power to examine the actual goods and services before purchasing. Consumers are unable to try out the items online and could not negotiate for lower prices. For example, there are chances of receiving products that are lower than our expectations as it appears unlike the illustrated diagram. Hence, consumers have to bear the risk of purchasing online.
  To conclude, the advancement of online shopping brings convenience to purchasers but on the 🤬 side, it deteriorates the consumer's power.

Fast forward 39 years, the once unknown has become widespread in today’s community, and surely there exists both advantages and disadvantages.

First and utmost, the main benefit of online shopping is it is convenience. Online shopping venues are available any time of the day or night which allows shoppers to shop 24/7. There are no lines to queue or shop assistants to wait on to help with purchases as people can make payments within minutes at their home. For example, people can straight away buy downloadable items online such as e-book, which are available instantly, as soon as the payment go through. To conclude, people should try online shopping instead of going to the store as it is more convenient.
   
On the flipside, the ease of online shopping has given birth to irresponsible compulsive shoppers. Online shopping encourages shoppers to buy goods ranging from unnecessary to those of undeniable use through with effective advertising.  Companies such as Amazon often host flash sales with attractive discounts to compel buyers to spend. Research suggest both men and women fall prey to these market models. The handling of money and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin through buttons of a laptop eludes the perception of how much buyers actually have, similar to casinos and use of gambling chips to throw gamblers off their sense of money handling. Hence, online shoppers must retain self-control and withstand the allure of discounts and the gratifications that follow. 

In conclusion, there are many pros and cons of online shopping for the consumer for many different reasons. Online shopping may bring conveniences to us, but we need to take measures before we start shopping to prevent becoming a compulsive buyer. So, we need to be careful and be rational before making choices while online shopping.]]> 2018-10-05 01:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nurili_syazwani/3hbcrn7ogm30/wish/289437572 Ee Yang, Teenesh, Zheng Yuan, Kheng Guan, Sydton adc68343 https://padlet.com/nurili_syazwani/3hbcrn7ogm30/wish/289440916    The availability and application of modern devices and tools of communication like telephones and computers have brought huge convenience to daily life.Thanks to the development of modern devices , e-commerce giants such as Amazon and Lazada have been experiencing good times for the past few years . The advantage of online shopping is it saves time and effort while the disadvantage of online shopping is it lack of touch and feel of merchandise .

Online shopping help to save time and effort. People tend to reduce their time allocated for shopping since their workload consumes most of their time . So , the presence of online shopping sites would really help them shop while working as shopping online does not consume as much time as if shopping physically.For example, family guy can spend time with his own family at home rather than heading to the mall to shop for grocery. It is obvious that online shopping saves time and effort . 


On the other hand, people may buy low- quality products as lack in touch and feel of the products . Many  online stores usually hide bad characters of products , but they only show good sides aiming to attract customer's attention . For example , the seller states his product , say , a shirt is made of cotton but it is actually made of other material. This shows that the product is not always what the seller says it is .

    Ultimately, online shopping is a double -edged sword . It can save time and effort while provide consumers with product opposite of what was stated . It is recommended that products should be delivered with the quality promised . This would make online shopping much better .
