SpeedPass Technology Built Into Watches
from the making-life-even-faster dept
Over a year ago, McDonalds started letting people buy food using the Mobil Speedpass device that people were using to quickly pay for gas. Apparently, having to whip out the keychain to pay for gas or your Big Mac wasn’t fast enough. Now, Timex is working to put that SpeedPass technology directly into their watches. You’ll be able to buy all sorts of things just by waving your hand.

Uhh… doesn’t anyone see any future problems with this? You go to check the time and … oops … bought that thing you happened to be standing next to. You lift your arm to wave hello to someone and don’t realize you are standing next to one of the scanners and so oops… you just bought some more stuff …

I sense a business opportunity. Instead of impulse buys you can build an entire industry around accidental buys… You just have to know where to strategically place the merchandise.
get it right
that’s the Exxon Mobil speedpass.
mobil no longer exists as a seperate entity.
