What we expect now a days

One thing I have noticed now,that I havent notice before, is that we expect all business to have websites. It seems that the days where we would pick up a phone book and call a business and ask them directly any questions we had are gone.I remeber growing up it was all about finding flyers to my favourite stores. Now we can go online and find what ever answer we are looking for or as the popular term goes "google it". It was just last week when I had deciede to check out if a place I use to go to had a website. Which is a martial arts place in moncton. At one point they had a book out and it gave all this wonderful information, so naturally I thought they would have a website. I searched and found no website but just some numbers. I was almost shocked that there was no website up for the club. I believe its almost becomes an annoyance when a business does not have a website. I find not only do we expect websites but we expect them to be top notch. They must show all their products at every angle and they must have tools so that we can zoom in on the product. We must have multiple emails and numbers at our disposal and we must be able to purchase anything they offer online as well. Now alot of business have to compete with things like "ebay". I will be the first to admit I'm and avid ebay shopper and notice that alot of business are putting their products on that site stratight from their stores. We dont have to go into a store anymore to be customers and we dont need to leave our homes to start new business.
