Shop Til They Drop
Last minute holiday shopping used to mean racing to the store after your kids went to bed the night before gifts were due. These days, it’s more likely you’ll order the gift for next day delivery. But things could get even faster. The long promised (and hyped) speed of drone delivery is finally being tested in some markets. There are questions. Will it really work? Do we really need our purchases that quickly? Is it so terrible to just go to the store once in a while? And, perhaps most pressing these days, how will your neighbors react to a squadron of drones dropping some toothpaste and a few rolls of toilet paper from the skies? (I’m assuming washing machine delivery is out of the question.) The New Jersey sightings have people so worried about unidentified flying objects that I’m not even sure Rudolph will be working this Christmas.
