Assignment #1: Shopping Carts?

The two biggest reasons people still shop in-store are probably, one: the fact they may not have a computer or credit card, and two: for the socialization and they're being assured they'll get the product/clothing ASAP.
The two biggest reasons people online shop are, one: convenience (also not having to leave the house), and two: sometimes there are really good discount sites and prices.
It depends on what I'm buying - but if it's clothing or makeup, usually online unless I go w/ friends out shopping, just because to me it is easier and there are a lot of really good sites that have things that we don't have here. To be honest there are not many shops around here for things like that. If it's groceries - obviously I don't online shop for that.
Considering online shopping is drastically changing the way we purchase things, I think by 2050 there is a highly possible chance that it may be the most preferred way of shopping. Now that I'm seeing all these apps for shopping, let alone sites that've always been around, there are more and more people using their technology for shopping. There's even apps for ordering food and groceries to your own home! It is getting pretty crazy in my opinion. But, it is the future of shopping.
My views on Canada Post switching over to online sending methods are that it is a very good idea for their business, considering basically everybody is online now. Everyone's got technology of some sort today. Digital shopping is becoming increasingly popular every day.
With online shopping, if you try to send something back (rather than if it were physically bought & you have the advantage of easily returning it,) it can be quite difficult. Not all digital shops allow that. I think what all digital shops should do is to have a no-return-charge law, so people are not charged a second time for having to send it back, instead it can be sent back to the online-shop for free. The shipping & handling prices should be at least lowered. Some sites charge way too much for that. I have heard of people who when they bought an item online, the company had been continuously using their credit card funds without the person even knowing it. Our credit cards & identities should be seriously protected, especially with online shopping being an increased use of shopping day-to-day.
