It is a not a strong evidence to explain the reason being is because they do not have computer or printers.
Some people explained the phenomenon, it is because HK has a high population density and it is easy and convenient for buying anything anytime as there are many convenient shops and retailing shops in HKï¼ which makes people think less about online group buying.
