Shopping
We no longer wipe the handle of the
shopping cart with disinfectant before using it. In fact, we no longer use a shopping cart at
all. We sit at home, usually in front of
television, and do our shopping on our cell phone. Nope, we don’t even talk to anyone, we do it
all on-line.
Of course, the people I feel bad
for are the marketing professionals who spent years in school learning about
product placement. Fighting with other
manufacturers for eye-level shelf space, end cap displays and that ever popular
impulse counter at the checkout.
Suddenly, our entire way of life
has been altered by a bug so small that a flyswatter is useless against
it. And what about that? The poor flyswatter makers, who by the way,
haven’t changed their product in 5000 years, find themselves unemployed and defenseless
against this pest.
I, for one, believe that
3-dimensional graphics should come with every on-line shopping experience. This way, as Mom reaches the check-out now
option on her phone or computer screen, the children will see colorful images
of candy bars, Frito's, and toys.
“Hey Mom, stop, go back. Mom, Mom, I need that, Mom… can we get that?’
Don’t you see, we’re missing the
best part of shopping.
