This Christmas reminded me that as long as there are people like me, who leave shopping for presents to the last minute, physical stores with large stock aren&#x27;t going anywhere.<p>But I am definitely waiting for the moment when physical stores turn into a purely advertising space, and draw their revenue from there. In a very near future you might not be able to buy things at a store, you will only be able to look at and try things (books are a good example).<p>Clothes are an exception here.
