OIC. Retail not dead, online retail alive, brick and mortar retail dead. Sears, Rat Shack, Acme all brick and mortar only.

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.

Walk into a Target and you will know they aren't going anywhere. Throngs of people all the time.
