Activity 1: Shopping Carts

1. The two biggest reasons that people still shop at stores are:

• When you are making the purchase in store you have the product right in front of you and there is no waiting for the company to ship it.
• There are in-store and student discounts that are only available in the store, not on-line. 

2. The two biggest reasons that people shop on-line are:

• You don't need to go anywhere, you have basically have a whole mall in front of you, and you can shop at any time, wearing anything you want to.
• A lot of the time, there are better prices and deals, along with on-line rebates and discounts that you can't get in the store. 

3. Whenever I go get something, I would rather go in store experience because I like it better because  you can try on the thing you are getting . I prefer the in store experience because there are factory stores that you can get the same clothes as you might get on-line and in the regular stores, except for better prices.

4. I think that in 2050, a balance will be struck. There will be enough people who,would rather the in store experience, and they will need to keep the stores for consumers like us, but there are also many who prefer the on-line experience and the on-line shopping will need to continue for those shoppers.

5. I believe that this is a smart move by Canada Post because they will get a lot more business from stores and people shipping things from on-line purchases. People are shopping more on-line and while there still are some people sending letters and packages to each other, most business' are from on-line shopping.

6. One way that on-line shopping can make their return process easier is make shipping free for the consumer when they are returning items.
