Of all the news that crossed my desk this week, this one was especially interesting and a bit scary at the same time. No it's not the new contact lens from Google that will automatically read your blood sugar levels from your tears and alert you...it's Amazon's new patented system called "anticipatory shipping."

 

Yes...they will ship your stuff before you order it.

 

In fact, their system decides what to ship by considering your previous orders, what you searched for, any wish lists you created, your shopping-cart contents, what you've returned and the neatest trick...how long your cursor hovers over an item.

 

So watch out...the next Amazon box delivered to your front door by a drone may be just what you were thinking about buying. But no worries, they have a great return policy.
