Question:Yes, Internet shopping is a rapidly surging trend, changing the retail landscape. Will brick-and-mortar retail stores be around in 30 years? Will the Internet and online shopping replace them? A little or a lot? Think of a situation where you went online to do comparison shopping, found what you wanted, and then went into the brick-and-mortar store to get it. Are there certain retail merchandise categories that are less susceptible to online shopping? Name a couple and explain why you think so.
Some hints - Amazon just bought Whole Foods to compete with Walmart's grocery delivery business. Amazon Wardrobe allows people to get clothes online, try them on, and return if they aren't just right. 3D printers may make some categories as simple as downloading a file to your printer, then printing out what you want. Domino's is experimenting with pizza deliver via drone. Lots of changes happening in the retail landscape.
