    Strange to think our kids will one day look back nostalgically on their excitement at the arrival of Amazon boxes.

        Lego or dish towels? The brown box offers no clue.

        What do you think will replace Amazon boxes? Presumably physical goods will still need to arrive in some way.

        Hopefully the replicators of the future can deliver goods pre-boxed to simulate the experience.

        Is it different from the Wells Fargo Wagon or the Union Pacific Railroad bringing the order from the Sears Roebuck catalog?

        And instant gratification split between buying online and the box arriving.

        ...and parcel mixup as plot device in fiction will be nostalgically quaint and praised by reviewers as "lending authenticity".

        An annoying thing in my lifetime has been airline baggage fees which often ruin gift giving for kids when relatives visit

        A run around solution I've seen is to order the gift so it arrives same time as the visiting guest. But they just isn't the same

        That's because Netflix needs a better GUI. It was easier to browse and discover movies at the video store.
