Catalogue shopping
People in the United States often shop from catalogues. There are special catalogues for almost every need -
including clothing, furniture, health and beauty products, and things for the kitchen. People also order about 40%
of their music from music club catalogues. Customers say that music stores are too noisy.
Online shopping
Is computer shopping the way of the future? About 86% of American households now have
personal computers. And shopping by computer (or “shopping on-line”) is interesting to more
people every day. Already, shoppers can use their computers to order many different products,

services appear every day. Soon people may be able to shop for anything, anytime, anywhere in
