The future of massively computation intensive personal level logistics is the amazon drone delivers your daily packet of stuff which contains four AAA batteries because amazon has figured out your remote control battery which is currently working, should be dead by this evening. Also it'll have two rolls of TP and one of your favorite breath mints and one squeeze packet of ketchup because it knows you're having french fries with dinner tonight.
Personal logistics is going to look a lot more like the star trek replicator (although enormously higher latency... for now) than like a web page store.
The blind faith that "... on the internet" will make you a millionaire, will be replaced by a blind faith in the infallibility of personal logistics. Why if Amazon is sending my wife baby clothes, no need to even bother taking a pregnancy test because how could Amazon ever be wrong, etc.
I disagree on the "daily packet of stuff" bit from the standpoint that I don't think Amazon is really great at the "we'll pick which specific product/brand you should get" part yet.
Part of that is the rise of 3rd party sellers and fake reviews has really impacted my (and many others I've spoken with) trust in Amazon. To continue the battery example, I could totally see some knockoff brand arriving that blows my remote up down the line because they were cheap, poorly made no-name batteries (possibly expired) that happened to have great margins for Amazon.
I just don't have that trust there. But maybe that's been my experiences and personal preference to research things to death.
