Are you suggesting to put trillions of copper, silicon, and aluminum parts on disposable items like bananas, so people have a slightly better shopping experience?
- nothercastle 3y agoAbsolutely worth it
- matthewdgreen 3y agoI am not suggesting it. It was widely presented as inevitable once the costs dropped enough. Retail inventory management and checkout is expensive.
- manmal 3y agoApologies for the strawman then. I just hope humanity can pass on that one, for once.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoWe kind of already do that, just with plastic, adhesive, and ink.
- byyll 3y agoMy bananas don't have plastics, adhesive or ink and regardless, adding another chip to them won't make it any better.
- bombcar 3y agoYou’ve yet to experience the glory of individually shrink wrapped produce. Bananas and oranges especially egregious but the shrink wrapped watermelon was whole nuther world.
- byyll 3y agoI've seen it, just rarely.

- xboxnolifes 3y agoI was thinking more along the lines of produce stickers.
- manmal 3y agoYes, that should be reduced, not added to.
- infecto 3y agoWe already use plastic bags, paper bags, takeout food boxes, wrap products in plastic and sometimes styrofoam. From an economic perspective its not too far off to think that if the part gets cheap enough you can put it on everything.
