Robotic vending

"Still see vending machines as boxes for hawking Doritos, and Marlboro Lights?" Get hip to the new wave of automated high-tech retailing that is changing the way we buy everything from PlayStations to pizzas. Designed for today’s impatient, want-it-now consumers, today’s internet-enabled vending units take cash, credit cards, even mobile-phone payments in exchange for the latest gadgets, sneakers or DVDs. Tap on to a touch screen, swipe your card, and you can walk away in seconds with a new iPod or mobile phone. Best of all, you need never confront a human salesperson."
