In the past couple of years there has been a diverse change from traditional sources of shopping where one would physically go to shops and buy products. The emergence of online shopping has changed people’s social activities; no longer is there a need to step out of the house. Online shopping involves big chains such as Tesco, Adsa, etc which provide not only food but home furnishing too. Clothing stores, bathroom sites, bedding sites to mother care and many more are all easily accessible online. Especially interesting is the appearance of Amazon and Ebay, businesses that have been purely developed by the online world. These online sites have meant the world of shopping has never been so easily accessible at a touch of a button, these examples give the appearance of “progress.”
The internet is good for educational purposes giving university students’ easy access to the world of books and journals on the internet. Through the use of hypertext students can read from one text to another and make meaning of things by clicking on hypertexts for further explanation. The Internet as Lister suggests is a “place for forward thinking people to be,” (Lister et al, 11). At the same time negative effects also are inevitable with working online. For example wikipedia is not academically accepted because anyone can easily comment.
