More likely is that hot meals will be delivered by a robotic transportation system. The same thing thats happened to a night out at the movies will happen to eating out at a restaurant. Except instead of a disc being delivered by snail mail, tiny robotic vehicles will text you when your meal arrives at the front door.



Or we could stop wanting to live out in the boonies and actually build things that people can walk to, then stop being so lazy.


I would prefer to be able to walk to everything I need. But unfortunately, that usually comes with a lot of other problems I'm not interested in.

The fact is that in a modern economy many things are shipped from business to business and from business to individuals. Laziness has nothing to do with it. Everything thats available in local businesses also has to come from somewhere.

Many things must go through many hands before they become available across the street. There's no reason a human being has to chauffeur things from place to place.
