With the development of technology and the use of computers, the way to go shopping has changed a lot. In the past, people had to go to stores to buy things they needed, so that they had fewer choices. Besides, they had to take the goods home by themselves. It wasn't convenient at all.

At present, besides shopping in supermarkets, people, especially the young, get used to shopping online, as it can save much time. Also, people can order goods made in foreign countries through the Internet. What's more, you just need to wait for the goods at home, because the delivery couriers will bring them to you. It's very easy and convenient.

In my opinion, compared to the life in the past, our ways of shopping have become better than before.
