Amazon ’s in style data-based product is theDash button , a programmable key that makes reordering essentials like laundry detergent as easy as pushing Start on the microwave . Is this the good thing that ever go on to busy America ? Or a house that we ’ve become the docile handmaiden of our Amazon Prime account ?
When the Gizmodo staff discussed this very topic today in a group confab , we could n’t decide whether it was the effective or the bad . On one side , some saw the young tech as the natural evolution of shopping . It is a wizard button , they said . It is commodious and not at all troubling .
Others , perhaps irrationally , believe that the push button is that next sad step toward the post - consumer dystopia vulgarize in films like Wall - E and Idiocracy . We are losing our government agency to the companies that want us to buy buy buy , some bewail . moderately soon we ’ll never leave the theater or think at all .
There are obviously only two ways you may feel about the Dash release . Either you are happier for its existence , or queasy about its implications . How do you feel ?
