In David Warlick’s Is the New Landscape Changing our Shopping Practices, it talks about how online prices and online products rose this year on Black Friday. Prices rose from an average of 170 dollars to 190 dollars this year. This went up 12 percent from last year. The most shocking percentage is the fewer pages viewed by shoppers on purchasing an item and the fewer the items visited. This means that people are knowing what to buy and they are doing reasearch on the product before they buy it. This matters to me because even though the world is going into recession people are still spending their money. I think this is a good and bad thing. I think this is a good thing because people are starting to get more confidence back into the economy and they are starting to spend the money they earned.  This is a bad thing only if people are buying unecessary products. Like instead of buying a new sink they need for their home, they buy a flatscreen for their own pleasure. This matters to the world because these statistics show that the economy is getting better. They show that people are gaining confidence back and they can start having a new hope.
