E-commerce: Online shopping.

Online shopping is a whole new shopping experience.


E-commerce broke all the records and the 100 Billion barrier in 2006. A big part of the jump was the wildly successful Christmas shopping season. Over the 2006 holiday shopping season e-commerce sales hit $24.6 billion

The topic on this week was e-commerce, so what I want to talk about is online shopping. As you can see from the statistic shown above, online shopping is a very prosperous business.

In 1990, online shopping has spread into every corner of our, so that nowadays some people has forgotten how it is like to walk from one shop to another, or how it is like to try on different clothes. Why do you have to do this, when today in 21st century there is a new opportunity for you - online shopping.

It is addictive as online gaming or gambling; people who once tried to shop in a cyber space and had a pleasant experience cannot stop after this.

But true, why they would want to stop?

Firstly, it is very convenient; on one webpage you can find a variety on goods available to you 24/7; for example, E-bay or Amazon.com, if you cannot find a book in a local book shop just go to Amazon and search online.

Secondly, online shopping suits very lazy people who detest walking, when you shop using your computer and new technologies you just have to sit still wit out moving and only click your mouse. Moreover, it will suit all very busy people who do not even have time to have lunch.

Then, shopping online is a very comfortable thing, because you stay at home and shop on your own; no noise of the crowded shopping malls, no crazy children running around, no loud music in shops itself, after which you have a terrible headache and finally, there is no crazy queues with irritated people waiting to try on the clothes; moreover, when you shop online you do not have to try on any clothes .

Personally, I did not have any online shopping experience before comming to Singapore, but still I only bought air tickets online.

NOW, let us look at....
