REPLY TO Student is Scott: 

In my opinion, soon many companies will close their stores and simply allow technology to direct their sells. More so, by going online a customer will enter a virtual store; where a camera connected to a mobile device or laptop will scan the customer for dimensions. The dimensions will display the customer in a virtual box; and allow the customer to see various clothing, shoes, and/or furniture. Then by using voice recognition and some form of a fingerprint scan for proof of identity the customer will then checkout.  Once sales are finalized, the customer will then be given a window in which he/she can see the purchased items packaged and shipped along with the estimated time of arrival.
