E-commerce has been a cup of tea that i haven't really tried yet. even though there are many benefits of shopping online, like not needing to leave your table, and you are also not limited to your own geographical boundary. however, as much as online shopping is really a lot more convenient and it broadens your reach of items, i feel that the limitations outweigh the benefits.
firstly, whatever you see on your computer screen might not be what you get in actual life. one good thing about physically shopping is that you can see, touch, feel, try, and sometimes even taste what you want to purchase. and this would be of great use because you would want to buy something that fits you, whether physically or character-cally. shopping online won't give you any of these luxuries. if you buy something and when it arrives after like a week of anticipation, and it doesn't fit, you'll just feel like you've physically flushed away your money.
secondly, shopping online might increase the chances of getting cheated, whether it being credit card fraud or just not getting the product. maybe i'm a be paranoid, but somehow i don't feel very secure about keying in credit card details online to an unknown person to pay for something.
however, i feel that in time to come, i would certainly buy stuff online because some stuff just aren't sold in singapore. and with greater protection and learning how to be careful online from Dr Choy's class, i would definitely try out online shopping!
