Amazon has invented a small button that you stick on your wall and press whenever you run out of a household item you would normally put on a grocery list. This is not an April Fools’ Joke. If it was, I would have proceeded to tell you how pressing the “Dash Button” also emits a song curated by Damon Dash that you can listen to while you wait for your tampons to come in the mail. Then, we would have laughed and held our sides. But this isn’t an April Fools’ joke.
What Amazon is doing is trying to woo you away from your local grocery barn, but while it’s nice to know that replenishment can be solved with an easy button and a cell phone message telling you that your order is on the way, it’s not like that product will instantly appear. Not, at least, until Amazon’s Prime Air drone delivery service becomes a widespread reality, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any chance of that happening in the near future. At least not in the U.S. For now, it seems like a trip to the supermarket or a convenience store makes more sense, unless you’re cool waiting for your coffee filters to go from a distribution center to your door like some kind of caveman.
