RE: Retail Apocalypse Is Coming... Faster Than You Realize

in #business6 years ago

That is something i read about a few years ago while researching retail companies in stock market. There is a huge transformation ongoing. In the past without the internet it was simply not possible to conveniently order some stuff while watching TV, making workout or programming on the the computer in the evening. Nowadays people enjoy the freedom to do so and deny the walk in the local mall much more often than in the past.

Recently i talked with a company which make professional 4K video and laser scanning with drones. These little copters can take up to 8kg (example) with them. Imagine you order on Amazon and a hour later such thing lands on your balcony.. the whole process just with some typing/touching/speaking on your computer and you have just to walk a few steps to get your stuff.. without a tired cashier, without penetrating seller, without traffic jam in the city, without hustling in the crowd and and deafening noise in a mall.

That's today the alternative for many products you don't have to touch, smell, see before. I welcome that because it saves us lifetime. I'm personally hate shopping like many men i think 😁
