I think eventually we are going to see virtual, holographic stores, where we will be able to shop for anything, without leaving the comfort of our homes. Something kinda like what you see in the Star Trek shows, except we would log in to store A, see a holographic store we can "walk around in" to shop for our goods and services. It may not happen in my lifetime, but my grandchildren may see it come to pass.

I think it would be neat! After we log in a holographic "assistant" would help us with any questions we have, etc. Of course, we'd have to wait for our stuff to get shipped to us, but we'd save loads and loads of time.
