• 1 – Click Ordering, The Evolution

  Date: 2008.01.08 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 0

  I was pleasantly surprised the other day at Amazon.com by 1 – Click ordering. I was buying some MP3s (I know.. I could have just downloaded them for free.. but I feel better about myself and I’m not hurting for cash) and I just clicked buy. All of the sudden, the transaction was over and my music was downloading.

  Where do I spend 5 minutes typing in my credit card information? I wondered.

  Apparently I had it save my CC info some time ago and hadn’t remembered I did that. It’s pretty damn awesome.

  I had a dream last night where I had a curiously strong desire for rope. I was in a situation that would be better, nay, DEMANDED, rope or some binding material.

  Moments later a delivery guy showed up at my door with a box full of rope and other supplies required for that particular point in my dream.

  So Amazon.. I request you implement this feature. I call it:

  1 – Thought Ordering

  Here’s how it works. You project what my needs will be tomorrow based on some funky warping of spacetime (Ask Stephen Hawking for details). You ship it overnight and charge me for it. I’ll accept the charges if your predictions are accurate and my need sufficient. (I fucking NEEDED that rope)

  Does anyone have a friend that works at Amazon? Could we bring this to their attention?
