If given a chance, which would you choose? Online or traditional shopping?

Traditional shopping due to these reasons:
1) Although security measures has been taken online, there might be chances that data might be stolen. It will be a higher sense of security if I do traditional shopping.
2) I could see the quality and whether I really the products or not on traditional shopping.
3) It can prevent me to be lazier, if everything can be do online, I will end up lazing at home in the future.

I would go to the store and buy something because I don't have to wait for it in the mail. If its a lot cheaper on line I might wait a while for shipping to save some cash. People love bargains. That's why eBay is such a huge success. I don't think online shopping has any credibility problem, its all a matter of convenience and value.

I would do online. Ive been online shopping for aquite a while now and I find that stuff that I see at a traditional store is much more expensive than an online store, and that would be including shipping for the online store.

I would rather shop on line.
Last year I went out Christmas shopping for 2 full days straight, couldn't find anything that I wanted. Came home tired out on Sunday night and went on line and had every item I was looking for within 2 weeks. Paying the shipping was worth it to me. I really hate going to the malls anyway. Sometimes paying the shipping is better then the travel and time spent hunting in the malls, plus the gas expense.

online will never replace traditional shopping. many people are more comfortable handing their credit card to a live person rather than entering it into a web page and then sedning it out into the great divide. even with enhanced security and secure sites, people will generally tend to be hesitant about using it especially if it's their first time. secure sites like amazon and paypal are constantly battling phishers who send out bogus emails in hopes of landing some unsuspecting people. online shopping is more a convenience or when looking for that hard to find item.

Traditional only because online charges shipping. If shipping were free, I'd never leave my house again!!!
