The foods that are the freshest are the ones that are of most value to the health conscious population at large; but there is one huge problem that I’m sure most of you are familiar with and that’s the fact that these perishable foods can go rancid quite quickly as they only have a short shelf life that is not all that long.

Amazon is having a go at providing a quick online delivery system for the surrounding areas in and near Seattle, Washington.

Many would find this service to be of a huge benefit to the ever expansive list of items that take away our precious time; as groceries would be a sound away with the delivery person to chime in on that doorbell.

One of the biggest second perks, besides convenience is the fact that it would save you money on an ever increasing wallet leech called the oil industry; granted you would pay for that either in increases in the cost of the food itself or from a delivery charge included with each visit; but if the majority of the neighborhood was signed up to this program then the cost of our air quality would most certainly improve as an added bonus to hopefully see less emissions to pollute your local friendly green neighborhood.

This combined with the ever increasing movement to work from the comfort and style of your own placed called home, and you have yourself a situation in which you, as a conscious being, will have a much smaller footprint in terms of wasted energy consumption.

This also opens up the tack ground for innovation, as surely more automated methods of delivery would be the preferred next step that would follow suit.

And I for one hope this type of system would even stock your shelving and refrigeration on the behalf of the stressed out individuals.

But as is usual, I’m getting ahead of myself, but it’s always a plus to think about the future that will be; and in the meantime be sure to keep your eyes peeled for AmazonFresh in your local area or even another equivalent service that may be.

How do you rate a system like this? Granted you probably haven’t tried one yet, but given the above listed features what is it that you feel would be the better motion to live by? Course if you have a grocer on the way home from work then it might not be all that big of a ordeal...

Course there is still plenty of innovation that can happen at the brick and mortar store level that would greatly improve the time spent at these stores. Make them more integrated with electronics and social media would be a great first start as the more personal the experience is, the better and even more of a reason to go to the store itself verses mindlessly browsing products in from of a screen.

This is one of the many steps that can take place, one that would be a better improvement in terms of speed, is implementing a system that negates the need for a time consuming scan for each product with the ancient barcode UPC system... A much better system could be put in-place to allow the purchaser to just walk out the door and all the stuff in their cart, pockets, etc. would be scanned via a RFID or equivalent system with some type of preferred payment method to mitigate the process of shopping for food or any other product for that manner.
