After reading Eliza Lee‘s blog post on virtual subway grocery store, the rapidly developing knowledge of technology that us human holds has really amazed me. Without actually spending extra time in a grocery store, people with smartphone can easily and conveniently buy their groceries. This can even let consumers effectively use their time while waiting for subway.

Speaking from a similar standpoint, there are other high-tech inventions that designers and marketers come up with. One of such is the Nike innovation of the Nike Air Mag “Marty McFly”. What this innovation patent about is that the company has came up with the idea of a new shoes with an automatic lacing system. YES! IT’S A AUTOMATIC LACING SYSTEM. With this new technological shoes, you don’t have to spend extra time dealing with your shoelaces, or worrying that they might fall lose again. Just leave this problem to your shoes, and it will solve it for you. The expected date of the product is somewhere between now and 2015.

Can you imagine how this world will be like years after with all these technological changes? Some might think this is just totally awesome, but some others might be in doubt.

Are we that lazy to even have products tying our shoelaces for us?
