📖 題組：
E-commerce refers to the process of buying or selling products or services over the Internet. It has affected people in many aspects. For example, while e-commerce helps create many new job opportunities, it also causes job losses. The areas with the greatest predicted job-loss are retail, postal, and travel agencies. The development of e-commerce will create jobs that require highly-skilled workers to manage large amounts of information, customer demands, and production processes. In contrast, people with poor technical skills will have fewer job opportunities. On the other hand, because e-commerce requires sufficient stocks that could be delivered to the customers in time, the warehouse becomes an important element. As a result, more staff members are needed to manage, supervise and organize the warehouse to ensure that it functions properly. E-commerce has also influenced our shopping behavior. For example, it brings convenience for customers as they do not have to leave home and only need to browse the products online, especially for buying those products not sold in nearby shops. It could also help them buy a wider range of items and save them time. Consumers also gain power through online shopping. They are able to research products and compare prices among retailers. Also, online shopping often provides sales promotions or discount codes and thus, it is more price-effective for customers. Moreover, e-commerce can even provide more detailed information about the products than the in-store staff can. Customers can also review and track their order history online. However, e-commerce lacks human interactions for customers, which is especially problematic for those who prefer face-to-face connection. Customers are also concerned with the security of online transactions and tend to remain loyal to well-known retailers. In recent years, clothing retailers such as Tommy Hilfiger have started adding Virtual Fit platforms to their e-commerce sites to reduce the risk of customers buying wrong-sized clothes. When customers regret the purchase of a product, they need to return the goods and go through the refunding process. It is inconvenient as they need to pack and post the goods. If the products are expensive, large or fragile, it then involves safety issues.

請你先快速掃視這三個段落的首句與末句，試著思考一下：如果第一段在講「工作機會的變動」，第二段在講「買東西的方式變方便了」，第三段在講「購物的風險與缺點」，這三個截然不同的面向，通常會被歸類在什麼樣的總體概念之下呢？
