Sure, it just seems that online shopping is going to take over going in person.
This is a larger question for a different thread. Perhaps this thread on Automation is more appropriate for a broader discussion. You are focusing specifically on traditional Retail.

Becoming digital is not a bad thing and in fact it is useful to the seller as well as the customer. Moreover the lead generation for business is more at online.
In this present reality where everybody is online, for what reason to keep your business just offline? A huge number of individuals are associated with the web over the world.
