Amazon Dash. One Button to Rule All Buttons!

My best friend lives in the UK. Now he can order a roll of toilet  paper with just a push of a button. Within 24 hours it will be at his door step and he will no longer have to rely on the old method of washing his bum.

This button is called the Amazon Dash. It is a service which uses a WiFi connected device with a big round button for ordering stuff over the net.  My first reaction was, no way ! I don’t want a button to order stuff. Then I googled the list of things that  can be bought.  Bounty, Tide,  Gatorade, Kraft Mac & Cheese,  Olay, Gillette, L'Oreal, Gerber, Huggies, Wellness, Finish, Dixie, Optimum Nutrition, Greenies, Hefty, Orbit is but a few available as of now.  I could see myself ordering  Kraft Mac & Cheese. But what's the point of waiting 24 hours.  I want it to be more like Pizza, delivered within 30 minutes. 

Is it a stupid idea? Jeff is not stupid.  Maybe I don’t like button pushers.  I do try to avoid people  who enjoys getting others irritated and starting fights.  Now you might say they are two different things. What if a real button pusher finds this device. He can press it a 100 times and I would be end up having 100 bottles of Tide. For now it won't work. You can order only one  time per 24 hrs. But I wanted it to be like pizza. I guess I won't have it both ways. Maybe I could hide it somewhere and have an automated device push it for me! Sound stupid? I present you the the Microbot Push.  It is around 50$. Dash is only 5$ apiece. So a full system with 10 products would be around 100$. Now it is getting silly. But is it evil? I do wonder what they can deduct from my buying patterns.

Fortunately it is not currently available where I live so I am safe for now. If it was, I am sure I will buy it!
