Dissertation: How has Technology and the Internet changed our relationship with shopping and the shopping environment?

'How has Technology and the Internet changed our relationship with shopping and the shopping environment?' was the title of the Dissertation I wrote during my Third Year at University. We were allowed to write about absolutely anything we wanted but it was suggested we focus it on a subject linking to our Final Major Projects. I wanted to base my FMP on the design of a futuristic Retail store and that is where I focused my Dissertation research. The images I have included in this post are the pages from the final dissertation that I submitted.

I was really happy with the outcome of my Dissertation, I learnt a huge amount from all of my research and it really became the core influence on my FMP. If I were to develop it further in the future I would have liked to research into other aspects of retail design in more depth - but that would have required a larger word count allowance.
