We’ve come a long way baby. Voice activated grocery lists – this was such an interesting idea… in 2012. Talk about a throw back to just 8 years ago.
Voice Activated Technology
Going back thru posts from over the years – I came across this SmartShopper 301. The idea is that you can tell the device your grocery list and it would print out a grocery list for you.

Grocery Lists in 2012
So in 2012, Kroger curbside pickup or Walmart Grocery wasn’t a thing. Whole Foods wasn’t owned by Amazon and Amazon was more focused on booked back then anyways. The dot com bomb had burst and all grocery delivery services had ceased operation.
This was our hope. We’ve come a long way. Here is our SmartShopper post from 2012.
