Having some more fun with Sony Acid. Let me know what you think!
You know, I was thinking about it today; (Could you see the smoke from wherever you were?) Grocery shopping is effectively the most inefficient activity in which we partake! Stay with me a moment, please. You grab your shopping cart and pluck things from each aisle, only upon finishing this task, remove the said items and place them on the conveyor belt.
The cashier rings up your totals and you then take those same items and throw them in a bag, only to put them back in your cart! After you part with your cash, you then remove the bags from the cart, throw them in your trunk and drive home.
You then remove the bags from your car, set them on your counter and remove the items you’ve touched almost three times only to put them away into cabinets.
You know what would be neat? Having a little weatherproof computer on each pre-bagged cart that catalogues the items your cart. It then prints out a receipt that you can hand to a cashier and voila, all you gotta do is remove the bags from the shopping cart and throw them in your trunk.
What would be even better, is if those items once paid for, transported themselves to your house automatically, unpacking on the counter to be put away in the proper places.
Man, I just love science fiction some times!
In the meantime, I’ll happily just take a grocery shopping robot clone that will do the work for me.
(I wish.)
