Shopping by Phone
On the walls of an underground station in Seoul, South Korea, there are a lot
of pictures of food and drinks: bananas, meat, rice, coffe, even pet food. But these
are not advertisements. This is the world's first “virtual" supermarket, called
Homeplus".
The supermarket is unusual because you use the special Homeplus app on
your smartphone to go shopping. When you want to buy something, you use this
app to scan the barcodes of the products you want. You put them in your online
shopping trolley and then you pay by phone. You haven't got any heavy bags to
carry because the supermarket delivers everything to your house for you.
South Koreans like shopping online and millions of them have smartphones,
but are they ready for this type of shopping? "Young Koreans use their
smartphones to do a lot of different tasks every day" says a Homeplus virtual store
