Read the text:
Many people today prefer online shopping because it saves time and offers a wider variety of products. However, some argue that it is not always better than traditional shopping. In physical shops, customers can try clothes on, touch the material, or test the product before buying. In contrast, online shopping requires customers to trust pictures and descriptions. Another disadvantage is waiting for delivery, which can sometimes take days or even weeks. Still, online shopping continues to grow, especially among younger people who are used to technology and fast solutions.
