Computer shopping
Is computer shopping the way of the future? About 37% of American households now have personal computers. And shopping by computer (or “shopping on-line”) is interesting to more people every day. Already, shoppers cause their computers to order many different products, such as computer products, flowers, food, T-shirts, and posters. And new on-line shopping services appear every day. Soon people may be able to shop for anything, anytime, anywhere in the world.

Comentário do professor
O texto deixa explícita a equivalência entre as duas expressões: na frase "And shopping by computer (or 'shopping on-line')..." o autor usa os parênteses e o "or" para indicar que se trata da mesma atividade.
Portanto, shopping by computer e shopping on-line são sinônimos no contexto: ambos descrevem a ação de comprar usando o computador/Internet. A estrutura do trecho não sugere contraste nem diferença de sentido, apenas apresenta uma alternativa de nomenclatura.
Além disso, entender que shopping aqui funciona como atividade (substantivo/gerúndio) ajuda a reconhecer que as duas formas nomeiam a mesma prática de consumo via tecnologia.
