Since its inception, the World Wide Web (WWW) has developed the reputation as being the place to shop to get the lowest prices. Why has this reputation developed? Why might it be possible to charge lower prices online? Are products really cheaper? To answer this last question, choose two products and find them for sale online (books, CD's, and software work very well).
