I don't understand how people do things like shopping on their phone. I mean if you're only buying one or two items, sure, but if you're doing grocery pickup at Walmart or something how do you even function on a screen that small? You can't do any kind of comparison without flipping back and forth between multiple tabs.
Mobile is fine for reading articles, instant messaging, etc., but there are a lot of things that are absolutely better on a laptop.
Does Walmart work like IKEA? Cause over there I find it a lot easier to just scan the barcode and view similar items through the app, personally. I would hate to have to browse through it all on my laptop (or phone for that matter) just to shop in person, but quickly scanning the barcode to find "related items" or similar items etc, I found to be very useful
That's exactly how i feel, too. Some years ago i went back to school. I was about 10 years older than anyone else and was flabbergasted to see that people are actually shopping clothes/shoes on their phones.
I have really tried to limit online shopping. I avoid Amazon like herpes and have for years...I'll use Lowe's website and/or app to locate things in the store. "Where in this 40 acre building can I find an 8 oz can of contact cement?" And performance issues aside it's okay for that.
Actually doing shopping on a phone though? Signal to noise ratio is too bad.
