问题    Nowadays, Internet shopping is becoming increasingly popular and many more high street stores and supermarkets are now offering this facility. You can shop for just about anything from the comfort of your own home, and all you need to do is to sit in your armchair and order things directly on the internet.
   Shopping on the Internet offers convenience and time—saving benefits to shoppers, as compared to traditional storefront shopping. People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet, ranging from physical products, such as books, CDs, clothes and food, to information products, such as on-line news or magazine stories. If it is too inconvenient for you to go out for shopping on your own, or if lack of time makes it difficult for you to shop at physical locations such as stores and shopping malls, you can choose to do shopping on the internet. The Internet operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and shoppers can expect to find and purchase goods off the Internet anytime, unlike traditional storefronts which have fixed opening hours. On wonder that some research findings indicate that consumers view the internet as an "instrument of convenience".
   Despite of the advantages of Internet shopping, there are also disadvantages of Internet shopping. The main disadvantage on Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Sometimes the computer image of the products can hardly compare with those that can be touched for quality and put on for comfort. Furthermore, Internet shopping cannot provide the social interaction and the sense of community. Many people will find it completely unpleasant because they may miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make online payment safe.
   As a new type of shopping, Internet shopping is bound to become more and more popular in the future. Moreover, if the problem of the security of payment can be overcome, there will be more people willing to try online shopping.
