Cat Tales: Miscellany and Mischief

July 7 (30DBC)

July 7 30DBC Prompt: On this day in 1994, Amazon.com was founded in Seattle, Washington under the name "Cadabra." Will shopping online ever fully replace buying stuff from stores?

I don’t think it can. There is something to be said for being able to go into a grocery store and feel the ripeness of a banana or an orange, or try on clothes before buying them to see if you like the fit, the color, and the feel of the fabric.

Sure, online shopping has made things much more convenient, and there are some things I wouldn’t bother going to the store for. There is also a greater flexibility with online shopping, as far as variety of items for purchase. But some things just don’t compare and are very personal to individual shoppers.
