The post you are reporting:
It has none Rick, absolutely none; that's probably why sales of CD's in shops/supermarkets are not holding up well - the biggest purchasers of CD's are the older people (like me !) who don't download, who like to have a collection of music, like my old 78s and 45s and LPs.
But you can't sit down have a meal with friends or have a coffee on the internet (well,. O.K. you can, but that's not in the presence of friends etc.).
Shopping, strolling around the Town, retail therapy, trying things on, are all much more enjoyable (to me) than ordering say clothes on the internet; many things can be bought easier and cheaper via the internet it's true, but there are many things that are better to be done physically - actually going there, into Town.
Maybe some shops work better by internet shopping (as in music and holidays), but some still need you to pay them a visit and I hope that will be the case for many years to come.
We'd lose so much by not going into Town.
