With modern technology such as television and the Internet, shoppers can now be described as 'home shoppers'. Electronic commerce and business-to-consumer electronic commerce systems in combination of home mail delivery systems make this possible. Typically a consumer can make purchases through online shopping, shopping channels, mail order, etc and get their goods delivered direct to their door. This is ideal for the elderly, disabled, people living in remote regions or suffering from agoraphobia. Online shopping also allows the buyer to save the time which would have been spent travelling to the store or mall.

This means that shoppers now have access to hundreds of thousands of products from round the world at the touch of a button and at the same time it allows the suppliers to market their goods at a price that would not have been previously possible due to the expense of marketing their goods in multiple companies. With online translators readily available it also means that it is possible to buy / sell goods to people who don't even speak the same language!
