But won't Giant and ACME be replaced by other chains, not online sales. Yes small strip malls have lost their grip but they're not necessarily going to be replaced by ebay. That's why I say you're premature in counting retail out. Sure for isolationists, like you and me, who don't want to deal with people, online is attractive. But normal people want the interaction and being able to touchy feely the goods.
