Positive aspects for society

Negative aspects for society

Shops and banks are open 24/7

Close down of shops/banks in city centres

Access to shops and banks is global

Increased risk of hacking/fraud

Less pollution since less travelling

Less personal service/more impersonal

Disabled people aren't disadvantaged

(no need to travel)

Loss of jobs because of closures of

banks/shops

Busy people can shop/bank when they

want and where they want

Less social interaction between people -

just sit at home using computer

If you live in a remote area, it is much

easier to access shops/banks

Less activity for people - leads to a less

overweight/healthy population

Less expensive (cost savings to shop/

bank + more competition - savings are

passed on to the customer)

Less environmentally friendly since more

goods sent out by post - waste from

packaging significantly increases
