            I chose to write my research paper on the retail revolution that has succeeded and failed in the current Internet era.  I will focus on areas such as: why it was thought that the Internet would be a successful means of retail sales, and why few companies have succeeded and why many have failed.  My thesis statement will read something like this:  As the Internet gained entrance in a large amount of homes and businesses across America a retail revolution was becoming a much anticipated reality.  Retail sales appeared to have some security on the Internet however this was only true for very few companies.  Many found that the acceptance of the American public to their company was harder to gain then expected.
