Online shopping has become a staple in most households. The online shopping industry was shaken up 10 years ago with Amazon Prime and it hasn’t been the same since. 10 years from now, online shopping is going to be different and this article is looking into exactly how different it could be.
How Can One Look 10 Years Into The Future?
The process is simple; you can take a step back and look at what advances have become possible 10 years from today and look forward into the technologies that are becoming available to us. Here is a look at what online shopping could be like in 10 years.
Drone Delivery:
Drone delivery is being tested by Amazon already. A small drone aircraft will deliver packages from a fulfillment center to a home or office directly.
3-D Printing:
3-D printing could possibly be a normal printer in everybody’s homes in 10 years. Imagine ordering a new pair of shoes, or maybe even groceries and being able to print it from your own home. This is some idea of what 3-D printing could be about.
Automated Warehouses:
The days of having a warehouse job – for a human at least – may be gone in 10 years. Warehouses may become all automated, being able to silently scan through darkened warehouses in seconds to fulfill an order someone has made online.
Driverless Trucks:
The trucking industry is trying to change their delivery game. With driverless trucks in 10 years, it may be possible to get your packages even quicker because these trucks will be able to drive 24/7.
