I am pretty sure almost everybody had already thought about how cool it might be to walk into a store, taking all the goods you need, and then just leaving the store and making the checkout without having to do any transactions and standing in the line – well Amazon is calling it “just walk out technology” – or better to remember Amazon Go Amazon Go is coming early 2017 – the location of the first store will be at 2131 7th Ave, Seattle, Washington.



Test users have already testing the store. Amazon is outlining currently the basic details, but I don’t have the full picture and process yet.

In the past few years it has become clearer and clearer that solutions and services will no longer be successfully achieved by one solution that we know today. And yet, service providers and vendors have come to expect seamless solutions and interactions for their particular service and line of business – meaning no flaws or errors at any point on the admin nor on the user side.

This way monolithic architecture can be avoided or customized exactly how the service provider or vendor needs it, and systems are easily scalable and adaptable.

Many people say that they are suffering from “tired eyes”, while others admit to suffering headaches, blurred vision and have difficulty focusing. One of the most crucial things we all should do is to take regular breaks or eye yoga / practice.



I was inspired to write this article by Samsung’s launch of the Samsung Safety Screen application. This app helps users, especially young children, hold their mobile devices at an ideal viewing distance from their eyes.

In the last few years airlines learned that turning traditionally boring in-flight safety videos into viral videos are beneficial for everyone so that people will watch and learn from them.
