social Impact
Online stores are only showing product description and photos of the products, which can be a disadvantage for many customers since they are not able to touch, see and test the product personally at online shopping. Because shops do not offer shop assistants to the customers as physical shops, there is no social interaction between customers and a salesperson. As a consequence; a lot of customers often end up making the wrong choices.
Customers are able to instantly use the product after buying it from the local shop which can be satisfying. However, products purchased from online stores takes about 2 to 3 days or even longer to arrive at your door step. Moreover; items purchased leave the warehouse in perfect condition then there is still always a chance that it can be damaged during shipping, all because the shipping company did a poor job handling it.
Customers must have a computer, Internet access, basic computer skills and a reliable electricity supply. Moreover; customers may lose contact with their friends as they may not go out of the house as much. Additionally; the internet is full of harmful spyware and malware that can damage the customers’ computer system and used to compromise their computer system. Since most online shops require a debit or credit card, the customers’ information typed into these websites for checkout could be stolen by hackers.
