Why the Future Could Mean Delivery Straight Into Your Fridge - YouTube

Geesh!

People are getting lazier and lazier and companies are figuring out ways to
make a bundle off lazy people.

Hilarious! I don't have the August Home System, or would probably try it someday

I read somewhere that in the future, a driverless Uber vehicle can come pick you up to take you on errands such as to the dentist. Kinda scary but funny too.

I like the sound of Hyperloop that is coming to Ohio. You can go from Columbus to Pittsburgh in 18 minutes when it's all complete.

New wave.

Well I say if they are too lame to do away with gasoline/oil, then they should do away with cars.

I walk about 5 k to get my groceries,just get enough 3/4 times a week to carry in my little shopping cart.
Great excercise.

SKYWAY's stringline system will be the solution to transport both goods and people.
It just got into stage 10 of 15 stages of development.

That is all crap for me
I go once or twice daily to shop , every day

Giving a complete stranger access to my home is not at all appealing to me. I would rather pick it up myself.

I have 5 supermarkets within a 5 minute walking distance so it's probably not for me.

And these ideas are typically launched in the biggest cities where there's absolutely no need for them.

This is for the superlazy well off big city citizen with nice shiny homes (Why not hire a housekeeper instead or a nanny?), You can make money on many stupid things as long as there is plenty of people, my little brother makes money by washing peoples bikes (it takes skill), Cause you wouldn't want those poor people washing it themselves

When my husband started to get really bad the Trader Joes let me call in my order and take payment over the phone , then run the order out to me. When he was at the end they delivered to me. So yes this is good for older people and caregivers. Not just lazy people.

This was not set up for lazy people. It was set up for the sick and elderly who can't leave their homes and have no family or friends to shop for them. It has been around for years were there are retirement villages.

Did you even see the commercial?, It certainly dosn't look like it's for elderly and sick.

This looks more like a commercial for the busy one (Or those who think they're to busy), If you are old or sick you should either be in a elder home or have someone coming from the community to help you out.

There is nothing in this video that hints its for old and sick people.

Well let me shed a little light.

This was NOT set up for old people or sick people.

The articles and news and Walmart has plainly stated they came up with the idea due to
YOUNG people that WORK many hours and don't have time to grocery shop and deal with
unloading and putting away the groceries. They even display in the video a young woman
at work watching on her smart phone as a delivery man enters her home and puts away
the groceries.

I really wanted to address this comment because I feel it is extremely important to know
that Walmart is NOT targeting old, sick people for grocery delivery like this.

Of course it might be beneficial in some circumstances to have that type of delivery for
someone that is elderly. Right now, it is beneficial to people whether young, old, sick,
to order food products online for shipment.

However, it is not the old, sick people that have children. This is what they are targeting.
Young people that work 40+ hours a week. The mom that has to take the kids to ball
practice as soon as she gets home from work. The dad that has got to work on the car
and mow the lawn on what little free time he has.

They already have and have as long as I have been alive, standard grocery deliveries
in cities and care givers that run errands/pick up groceries/put groceries away, etc. In
elderly communities like 'The Villages', many of those have grocery stores in walking
distance and most drive golf carts, have the little bus that comes around to pick up
people to take them to the store, etc.

So really, this idea is not targeted to old sick people on social security. It's targeted
to working active families.

Nikor you are right I did not watch the video!
I was just going on what I read. Ilike the program for what it was started for years ago. There is no way I want a stranger in my house when I am not home.

where there's money, there's always a way ..... and so Walmart comes up with a way to generate more profit - at the expense of whosoever it may be.
