Buying from the internet is becoming more and more popular. For example, we’ve seen many
book shops close down because people can buy online at cheaper prices from sites such as
Amazon. It makes life much easier if products can be delivered direct to
our door, especially with
our busy modern lifestyles. I think this will only increase in the future as more people feel safe to
buy online and online shops make it easier to purchase this way. Also, I think our lives are only
going to become busier, so more people will choose to shop this way.

Are there any disadvantages to shopping on the internet?
There certainly are some. Firstly, buying clothes can be a problem. When you go
into a shop you
can check what you are buying fits you and suits you, but it is obviously not possible to do this
online. Shopping does not become less hassle if you have to send something back in the post.
Another problem is the security. We have to give
out our bank details to peop
le we don’t know.
There have been several recent reports in the press about sites that have had their security
breached and credit card details have been stolen. So far this is fairly uncommon, but it is a risk
none the same. Another disadvantage is to society as it could destroy local shops and
businesses if people are not going out to shop in their local town.

Some people say that working from home will be quite common in the future. Do you
agree?
It is foreseeable that more people will work from home in the future. If the internet becomes
faster and there
are more programs, such as Skype, that allow people to work from home more
easily, I’d predict that more people will stay at home. If you think about it, most people don’t need
to be physically present to do their jobs and I envisage that face to face meetings will be a
thing
of the past.
