Revise the following paragraph, improving it without changing its overall meaning. Pay particular attention to the sentence structure and parts of speech.
Imagine a time when there was only one little store. To shop in for a whole town. The only selection there was to choose from depended on what one store owner had in stock because the next store was many miles away.

This does a foreign concept to most people today because shopping as we think of it has changed so drastically. Shoppers are no longer restricted to the limited selection that their local stores may offer. There are so many options available to the modern day shopper, from merchandise options to shopping venue options. Shopping online has become a way of life for many people in the fast paced world that we live in.
While others have chosen to stick with the more conventional brick and mortar method. There are a few main differences between the two methods that should be weighed out by the shopper when trying to choose which method suits them best. Before deciding whether to shop online or in a store, consider the variety of merchandise available, the nature of your purchase. And your security concerns.
