Wouldn't it be great if it was just already there and I didn't have to think about it and work out when I'm going to fit that in before I pick the kids up from school?
Drone deliveries are something I think we should really have more of here in Australia, and they started in Queensland, in Logan, and have done very well and are now spreading out across the country.
But I'm quite happy to give my fridge a budget, knowing that it'll know what I need,
Now, it's not allowed to go and buy, well, maybe it can buy very expensive ice cream on Wednesday.
It's not allowed to go and buy all the sweets for the kids they might want it to buy.
But to have what we know we use on a regular basis and even to look for better deals for us, the future of marketing is actually people marketing their AI to our AI.
That is the key.
Well, you can have lots of things.
So, for example, in some parts of the world, they've got delivery robots.
In some parts of the world, they have delivery drones.
In some parts of the world, they're gearing up humanoid robots to do it.
Like something out of that movie, I, Robot, with Will Smith.
This is where the utilitarian nature of this technology rather than what allows us to have fun is a really interesting question.
So I love to go and have a good coffee and buy something from my local bakery and eat that as I go for a beautiful walk around the Sydney Harbour here in Balmain.
Bliss.
Do I enjoy going to a car park, parking up, trying to find a car park, finding a basket, bashing into people, people looking at things, looking for deals, varying hyper-stimulated under great fluorescent lights, trying to find a good deal, trying to find the right stuff I want inside a supermarket?
No, that's kind of like, you know, how you go into some hardware shops, I won't name them, but you know, you get lost in the map and you could probably live in there for a couple of days before someone picks up that you were in there at all.
I'd sooner allow the robotics to do the mundane and allow me to enjoy the bliss moments.
Well, if you think about it, it's just going to replace other types of vehicles.
We don't have exposure here in Australia to a lot of other kind of vehicles.
