Depending upon your definition of "shopping," I can agree with this. I "shop" when I go to . . . oh, Macy's, for example, wanting "a dress for the office party" (note vague description). I look through all their racks, try on wayyyyyy too many dresses, and finally (I hope) come home with one or two that fit and are suitable for the purpose.
On the Internet, I go and buy specific things - a book I want, a bracelet I saw in a catalog - but the "shopping" experience is not the same. You can do *research* on the Internet, but for the true shopping experience, you need, well, a shop.
