In reply to Flying Goat.

Your comment clarified some things for me. I didn't realize people were buying things through game consoles or their television. Eventually, the IOT (internet of things) is going to complicate this further.

Personally, I don't need my refrigerator to remind me to buy food - much less be able to purchase it for me. I think that is years off as most people still go to grocery stores for food. That could change if the shipping cost issues can be addresses. (Amazon Prime is one method.)

I also don't want to be able to buy laundry products from my washer or dryer. These things will only contribute even further to people going into debt buying things without bothering to see if they have the funds to pay for them first.
