Do you think it is safe to shop online?
Depends on the site. If you use a reputable
one like Amazon or the
store’s
website, it is generally very safe. However, buying from private sellers online,
especially in their homes, can be risky. Furthermore, scams always exist online,
so you never know if someone could be scamming you. I always say, if you have
time, it’s better to go buy the item in person to gain more trust in the purchase.
To what extent do you think advertising affects the way people shop?
The primary purpose of advertising is to inform
potential customers about a
product and it can augment the revenue of the company. People get influenced
by
these ads, and they
end up buying things, which they do not really require.
Do you think shopping habits are likely to change in the future?
Although most people believe that online shopping
would further get popular, I
believe that online shopping would reduce. For the last 18 months,
most people
have been confined in their houses and now they just want to get out. Thus,
there is a high probability that online shopping would reduce.
Do you think the government should impose more control on online
shopping?
Wow, this isn’t something I’ve ever thought about.
In my opinion, I think the
go
vernment should investigate to make sure sites are reputable, but that’s about
all. I
don’t think there should be any limit to what we buy, as long as they are legal
