companies like Google and Facebook already know everything you purchase because our credit card companies sell that data to them


All grocery stores already do this as well and have for a long arse time so nothing changes

Unsure of the point....


Even if they don't cut labor cost, they can increase revenue by providing a better shopping experience. They probably have solid margins too. Prepped meals at the supermarket always have a big markup.

You could order shite from the wifi on the plane, and pick it up when you land. Would be awesome.

News like this reinforces my problem with trump not talking about re-educating the workforce for this tech boom but rather talking about coal and illegals. this was always the inevitable, and jobs will still be created. it's just going to leave an older segment of the workforce behind


Very forward thinking. I agree as well. The McDonalds workers of today haven't learned any valuable skills to set them up for a life post-McDonalds. shite, they can barely operate the register.
