21st century shopping? Friend or Foe?

At the risk of sounding completely random, I'm here to share my "sorrows" on being a 21st century shopper. Drama queen much? Anyway, gone are the days when we absolutely have to get our butts off the couch when we need to buy a certain something, may they be clothes, accessories, make-up or shoes! The internet has opened doors to many things, including empty wallets. ugh. Anyway, here is my side of the story. I love to shop! Clothes are okay for me, I dont buy much bags but oh my god shoes. I love shoes. Ok I'm side-tracking. Saturdays would be my day of shopping, after a long week of campus and studying. Towards the end of the month, when I simply cannot afford to go more shopping, I spend my day watching TV at home, or go to a friend's house to chill, or head to the cinema for a "friendly-for-the-wallet" entertainment :p :p. It's literally that simple. But lo and behold, my fellow shopaholics. welcome to the 21st century, where the digital gap is closing down and we are, in a way, to say the least, screwed. If we do not head to the malls, the malls are literally coming to us in the comfort of our houses. And they are so comfortable. Choose, pay and wait for it to come in a few days. We dont have to go to the ATM to conduct payments. Say "Ola" to mobile banking! Aduh ribet deh! There is no such thing as not shopping anymore now, isn't it? If not the mall, its shopping sites. If we avoid shopping sites, our buddies in Facebook are also turning to salespeople. And the are so convenient, we can't help but to try it. So now what? Do we thank Bill Gates-esque individuals who have made the world so much easier? Or do we curse the fact that our shopping budgets are getting thinner and thinner as the technology advances? I'm off, lads, I think I like that pair of shoes on my friend's Sale album. Ciao!
