Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. You can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked(连接)to the Internet.
People can shop for different kinds of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and foods. You can also buy information products such as online news or magazine stories, or you can download computer software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving hotels or renting cars are also available on the Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services such as online games or e-mail “chat”.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you can not actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods by using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make online payment safe.
