Technology : Making life better or for the worst?

Advancement in technology is good but sometimes it has negative side too. People seem to spend more time on their computers than interacting face to face with others. In current times everyone is so busy working and doing their own things, which actually makes them hard to spare sometime to do some shopping. They start work at 9am and end at 5pm or 6pm, or they sometime have to stay back for overtime. By the time they get work done, they are tired out and have no more energy to go shopping. Because technology today is very advance, we can actually shop at home. Online shopping has become an ongoing trend nowadays. Many stay in the comfort of their own homes and shop with just a simple click of their mouse.

Now that it is a festive season, many would go out to malls to shop and the crowd may be unbearable. Like me, I hate to shop in places with crowds. Because of the advancement in technology, I can sit at home and shop without sweating and pushing my way through or queuing to try on my clothes and paying for my stuff. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are convenient and sometimes it might be cheaper or more unique than those sold in shops. On the other hand, the disadvantages we face in online shopping are like transaction issues, sizes and quality problem and many more. The idea of online shopping is pampering people too much. It actually makes us turn lazy.
