Ok, So last week i mentioned in class that there is a apple vending machine at Macy's.  Here is a video of how it works and what it looks like.

I personally think this is weird. I mean what is stopping us from selling computers this way. We do the same thing with movies, who needs a Blockbuster when we have
a local REDBOX on every corner. These new vending machines are going to one day take away jobs. Everyone complains about how illigal immigrants are taking out jobs
but isn't it really ourselves. We have ATMs so we don't need tellers. We have the apple vending machine so we do not need salesmen, and we have the REDBOX so we don't need clerks.
What is next on our list.
