Shopping for groceries is not always a great experience. We have to deal with crowds, long lines and tedious the process of taking all that food into that house. Love it or hate it, technology has a way of making us lazy. It also can make everyday tasks much more convenient. Take Tesco customers in South Korea for example. Tesco has created a way for them to buy groceries without needing to visit the store.

Even little suburban towns cannot escape the march of technology as this past weekend saw the introduction of Scan It: a self scan/self check system of getting your groceries. High tech groceries? Yes, and the benefits are for both store and for us shoppers.

The scanners feature a barcode scanner and a color screen complete with sounds. . . .
