Amazon: Whether it has a positive or negative effect on the Future?

For my research project I will be talking about Amazon as a whole and its effect on the future. For example some positive effects would be how students can get their textbooks and materials for school quicker and cheaper on Amazon, Customers are able to purchase items from virtually anywhere they have internet whether it is at home or outside in Starbucks, and items that may be hard to find on your own can be found on Amazon with a click of a button. However with positives there are always negatives. Some negative effects may include a decline of traffic in local business, people go out less often to buy things, people may grow dependent to ordering online, it can also affect social interactions as people would be interacting less socially when ordering from Amazon. For my research topic, I will be looking more in depth into the effects of Amazon towards the Future. We will be able to see some positives and negative effects it may have and how this new media will continue to change our lives.
