Future of shopping – The Year 2030

In 2030 most of our kitchen appliances will surely have today’s supercomputer’s processing speed, sensitive touch screen control panels, gesture controlling and what not. With all such computing and controlling powers one thing definitely they would have is the capability to shop on their own for themselves, yes your heard it correct , appliances will do online shopping for themselves. Imagining a washing machine places online request to buy washing powder just before it is about to finish isn’t that strange.

A refrigerator placing request for vegetables by looking at the vegetable basket, their expiry date noted from the last purchase will be a normal thing. Of course such online transactions done by your appliances will be monitored and verified by you.

A person walking in a shopping mall with a mobile phone which has a sensitive GPS system and a smart application installed. As the person visits shops after shops his mobile app suggests him about the best offers to look around. His cell phone app shows him availability and deals on his preferred size shirts, trousers or any personal stuff. Of course this will be a reality before 2030.
