There is one thing that kind of scares me about OurBestOnlineShop’s choice for the number one online store out there today (go here if you missed it).

Although I like the fact that the internet is taking over for pretty much any kind of shopping you would ever need at the click of a button without having to even leave your chair, I think the bigger companies have obviously been taking the vast majority of all online business and I think we are creating a sort of funnel towards an inevitable monopoly. I really do love being lazy and never leaving my house, but I also like to have plenty of choices when it comes to where I want to give my business too and I would not be a fan if there were only 1 or 2 online shopping stores to choose from.

Probably Not the Best Long-Term

I think this really is an outcome that is going to be hard to avoid. For now, online shopping kings like Amazon are growing every day and allowing them to keep prices lower than any other options out there today.

Sure, this sounds just hunkey dorey (is that how you spell that?) for any consumer like me for now but this lowering of prices is going to make them almost impossible to compete with and when every other competitor in the same field start slowly withering away and going out of business I think we are going to see prices start rising from these mega corporations charging an economy ruined by them even more money for anything.

I may sound like a paranoid hippie towards the end of that but it kind of makes sense, right? Stick around for more paranoia!
