Okay, so now Amazon has same-day delivery, free to Prime members in nine? major metro area...mine being one of them. FREE SAME DAY!

If that's not enough, they have Dash Buttons...they're for specific products, for instance Tide detergent. You give them your WiFi address...when you need more Tide, you press the button, it places your order and sends it to your Smart Phone for confirmation. A few hours later it's at your door.

For some reason, I can't copy this link.

AND THERE'S MORE! This little devil will be out shortly.

https://fresh.amazon.com/dash/

This one allows you to scan barcodes or order ANY eligible product for same day delivery. (Most items are eligible.)

Ive entered Bizzaro World....

I've been using Amazon Prime for a couple of years. I think it's $99 for a year membership. Free two day delivery. I may buy a hundred shares of their stock on Monday so I can become a MILLIONAIRE!

Really, where is this ground-breaking tech leap coming from??
 
Oh tech.

Gee, didn't you ever watch the X-Files?

It's an alien plot to make people overweight blobs of mind-numbed internet and cable-TV couch-potatos, to make it easier to harvest us as food sources.

Everyone else got the memo. ;)

It's coming from us because we're ones who direct science and tech; we're the ones who say, well, this is what I'd like.

No aliens. We are moving towards an on-demand services and subscription based economy. It's just the natural progression of things. Enjoy it or don't.

Don't call it the natural progression of things like its evolution. It isn't, unless capitalism is somehow in our genes. ;)

but we demanded these services and sometimes companies told us that we should use and like these services. We all want everything now. We didn't before but now we do. From Sex to media content to packages. That's what I mean by natural progression.

Ah, got it. Sorta' like we're getting exactly what we asked for. True dat!
 
/shrug. I didn't know about such things. but then, I would never live in a city where they would offer such things. Heck. The city doesn't run water and the cable company doesn't run cable out to where I live.
