Don't write off the High Street

In 10 years' time, real bricks-and-mortar shops will have ceased to exist, our once-great shopping centres will be boarded-up empty shells inhabited only by rats and pigeons, and we'll be buying everything by pushing magic buttons on our computer keyboards.

The high street, you see, is out of fashion, going the way of flares and tank tops. And the young people of today, with their magic phones and iPads, want nothing to do with it.
