I'm still of the old school. I like to touch things before I buy them and that personal interaction of meeting face to face with the trader, or representative thereof.
I feel that online shopping does away with the elements of trust and humanity that have characterised our trading methods for thousands of years. Engaging in the cold, unempathetic world of online shopping makes me uncomfortable. I can't fathom why people are so eager to escape the warm reality of business for meagre savings that will be eaten up by credit card interest and an evaporating sense of the value of money.
