Interesting post. i vaguely recall a Jetson cartoon episode where they introduced a vending machine. So we get pop, candy, chips and now clothing. What else can we purchase from vending machines in the future? Household cleaning products, computers, watches, jewelry, office supplies. hmmmm. How about internet dating sites turning to vending machines. Yes I picked my future wife as described by a vending machine. From the machine I received her contact info. Well that would be a change up from Jenny Jenny I got your number. (song) LOL Well I just got a new sales lead for my company from a vending machine. I know I am stretching it a bit. But think of the crazy obnoxious possibilities. The girl down the street purchased her sperm donor's stuff from the machine too. I saw her. LOL Even grandma got her burial plot from ones still available at the local Memorial Park Cemetery. Oh Boy. Our world is fast becoming impersonal and vending machines along with robots and other machines are replacing workers. Consider McDonald's. It is cheaper to use automation than $15.00 an hour to wait on you. Great article. Hope you did not mind me having a little fun with the endless possibilities. - Troy
