　　Today, shopping, a necessary daily activity, becomes growing epidemic by transforming itself from conventional manner in stores to online planforms. In my view, this shift in merchandise, though might have some negative influence, is still positive.

　　Compared to shopping in stores physically walking from one place to another, this change on consuming behavior offers a great convenience to most people, especially young working adults by allowing them to take their time to select everything that they are interested in page by page and then to simply put goods into the shopping cart waiting for the payment. Apparently, it fits young people well in this frantic pace of living. Quite apart from this, the shift in business away from traditional model is resource-conserving, since the demands for working staffs and salesmen have kept pace with the number of customers. Further, products, through internet, can reach more potential consumers as there is no geographical barriers, no longer restricted to a physical location.

　　However, it is not all rosy, with the opposition from those who argue that this charge on consuming behavior and operation of business may have a negative influence on current brick-and-mortar business model. Given that online shopping with lower cost permits comparatively cheaper selling prices, appealing to more consumers, it can raise a competition as well as an impact on tangible business. But I contend that in order to attract more potential consumers, both of them will optimize their resources and upgrade their service, from which consumers can get more benefits. And this competition will have a positive effect in long term on the whole business by providing selection for the most public.

　　In conclusion, though the change taking place right now has an adverse effect on actual business, it is still positive as the competition can promote economic efficiency and development.
