No more direct social interaction. Ever.

We all order some things online, and many times it's because it's so easy and painless. You click a few buttons and receive the item in the next business week.

Pleased with yourself, you go to the store to buy a bottle of whiskey. Or a pack of cigarettes. Or one of those magazines you hide when you have company. Or some eggs, just on case.

But now you actually have to talk to someone! Maybe even run the risk of touching the store clerks when they give you the change! The horror!

Well, in Tokyo the rise of the machines takes care of that.

All the BS: No more direct social interaction. Ever.

These machines are so darn cool, wish the US had those.

Thing is, I don't know if these machines are a sign of progress or a sign that the end of days are coming. At least when they do come, we'll be able to throw eggs at the devil.

i'm sooo jealous. i would prefer a world without having to deal with judgmental Kwik-E Mart clerks. No more contemptuous looks while i prepare for my 3am ritual of smoking and drinking while perusing my various fetish mags....

I'm just happy I can buy CDs online rather than deal with the failed musicians behind the register in the second-hand music stores.
