>Big box stores killed the mom & pops.
I think the internet will kill big box stores and bring back mom & pops. There's no point in going to Best Buy/Walmart/etc. to buy something I can get on Amazon for a fraction of the price, but I will browse local stores for unique and interesting goods that are harder to find online if you're not looking for them.
It will bring back browsing as a legitimate activity, something which big box stores completely killed imo.
