Shopping Is Different from Now on
The day before yesterday in China was a festival worth celebrating. It's called Singles Day or double 11, a holiday which was used to be a special day for singles. However, with the development of technology, people become addicted to online shopping. They can buy anything they want on Amazon, Yamybuy or Taobao (an app which is similar to Amazon). These years, Alibaba, a network technology company, becomes stronger and stronger. Consequently, Singles Day has gradually become an online shopping day, almost all goods are on sale. In order to buy their beloved goods, people will stay up late to scramble for them on the computer. So it is said that it was supposed to be a holiday for single people but now it has changed into misery for married men because their wives will use their money to buy a lot of clothes, make-ups or daily necessities.
Life becomes more convenient and various than it used to be. Before the Internet is not strong enough, people would go to the mall or supermarket to buy goods or food. And they would not line up until the last man before him/her had already paid. However, after online purchase gets famous, we can buy whatever we want.
In addition, the biggest change in online shopping is that the prize of the goods lower and people's economic conditions are getting better. Before the improvement of PCs, people used to have a huge computer which was the size of a refrigerator. So shopping online was impossible for people in the middle class. But so far, with the rapid development of science and technology, almost on every desk and in every home, there's a personal computer. It used to be a dream for them to own a computer, even cell phones. Therefore, people used to walk for a long time to go to the mall and used to carry many bags of goods which would cost a lot of money. However, nowadays, they wouldn't worry about the cost because purchasing online is very popular and cheap. They just need to select goods and pay online.
