It does not take this writer to inform you, dear reader, that methods of shopping for consumer products have radically changed in my lifetime. Over twenty plus years of the Internet, where and how we choose stuff to buy has been transformed.
There has been what is lost but then that we can say has enhanced the shopping paradigm. Some of what I will discuss with you is unsurprising, but there is a perspective here that, to me, is undervalued and rarely highlighted. So, hopefully you will discover my words here as relaying something of significance.
