Can wait for Netflix, no hurry to watch it now lah. $13 movie ticket is not cheap hor.
Furthermore, TV entertainment system is getting so much better nowsaday. Buy a 65” TV plus a Sonos Beam audio system with additional of 2 surround speakers is fantastic.

A pair of movie tickets cam pay for about three months of streaming at home. The choice is obvious.

I am afraid that cinemas and shopping malls may become extinct or drastically reduced in numbers in the near future since the alternatives available online are cheaper and better value for money. With movie subscription services and online shopping, we do not even need to leave home to be entertained. Therein lies the problem, the number of entertainment options in S'pore is already limited. Any further reduction will severely reduce the places where we may go with our dates and circle of friends.

With eateries giving us such poor value for money in terms of quantity these days, more of us will start to improve our home cooking through recipes available online. More food establishments will shut in the near future as well.

Correct, technology changes our social life..worldwide.
Singapore catches on faster because of our abundance of WiFi with high speed. 100% of Singaporean can access to a decent WiFi fiber connection.
Because we are small and compact. That should be an advantage in the real world.
I can enjoy at home with all internet services.
From buying TV to a toothpick easily, with a international selection and prices comparison.
Make a video medical appointment with Doc. Arrange medicine delivery service.
Work from home with zoom.
Read international news worldwide.
Internet banking, payment, investment. No more queuing...🤣🤣🤣
Although I may lost the time meeting up with friends, colleagues and suppliers as compared to the past.
But I gained precious family time with my wife and children. Whom I treasure most in life.
Because of our daily needs can be easily met with Internet services.
There is no longer a need to travel far outside of our HDB Town, unless we plan for a overseas trip to Japan. Our favourite holiday destination.
Usually we hike or cycle around park or nature reserves surrounding our HDB area. For outdoor activities.
Can do it for half or a full day. Especially in weekdays, not so crowded.
Enjoy the simple things in life which are forgotten from our childhood days.
Life can be simpler and enjoyable in our high tech society. If you know how to plan it towards your advantages.
Definitely improve my life quality 👌.

Shop must innovate for survival. It is not the consumer responsibility if they don't know how to change with technology and time.
The world will not wait for them...

You know how expensive a good pair of high end speakers.
Sonos sound system is good enough for the masses
