I had responded to a member's post about having issues with her internet a few days ago. She wrote in her response back to me that it was Amazon's fault. She didn't know what exactly so I Googled it and found that Amazon was having trouble with its Cloud Service. I don't use such things and so I Googled that too. It is a storage service for big databases and even "bandwidth to host a website, or processing power to run complex software remotely" the article on Guardian.com said which you can read at this link :( It also says that Amazon is huge. It sells in the double digit Billions of product. Is that yearly or monthly or what? I don't know. Not daily surely. But, what I found even more interesting was that Amazon will even deliver you food from restaurants in under an hour. Even Netflix used Amazon.
So, my question is this: Isn't that greedy? Or just good service?

Yes, I have seen that. I can't order some things I want unless I join the Prime program they have. Ugh!

The world has really changed. Soon drones will be delivering food and supplies to our doors. We will be able to work from home and never leave.

That will be wonderful. I am house bound and have social anxiety.

Amazon is like an online Walmart but with even more stuff they sell. The wife worked in one of their facilities for a brief while she said it was huge and he would be exhausted by time she came home after walking around such a huge place for what seemed to be an eternity then.

I can imagine. I see it as a bad dream. Reminds me of Warehouse 13.
