Amazon is set to crush offline retail
If Amazon Prime can deliver on same-day delivery, shoppers will grow more accustomed to the “point-click-get” paradigm. Other retailers, online and off, will have no choice but to follow.
I admire the efficieny. I don’t trust the consumerism.
What about people meeting and interacting together?
Where does local fit into the picture?
In a balanced world Amazon is an option (and at times a great option), but once brick-and-mortar option is destroyed haven’t we placed all our eggs in one basket?
If business was less greedy and more appreciative … the push for more and more is going to cause precious resources and facilities to burn out prematurely.
