Grocery Shopping at a whole different level!

So in one of my Information System classes, we learned about a company that revolutionized the way people shop for groceries. Instead of going to a grocery store or supermarket to buy their daily food supplies, people can now maximize their time and buy their weekly groceries in the comfort of their own home. This company is called Fresh Direct, and is an online grocery store having their main offices situated in New York.

I found it pretty cool how even something like food can now be delivered to your footsteps through the computer. Reading about FreshDirect, I couldn't imagine what more could technology bring to the food industry... until I came across a video of a very unique system in South Korea, in which grocery shopping can happen anywhere at anytime with just a click of a button on your smart phone. Watch this video and you'll see what I mean:

 

A major problem that everyone in the world is suffering, is the scarcity of time. However, with the extremely rapid growth of technology, the problem with scarcity of time, is trying to be solved. I really can't wait to see what the future of technology will bring for us! Maybe one day, we'll be able to teleport from one place to another.
