How do you fancy the idea of a fully automated supermarket?

Yes the fully automated supermarket without any staff has arrived – well in Sweden at least.

Swedish IT entrepreneur Robert Ilijason shows how to use a cell phone to scan a purchase at the no-staff, app shop in the southern Sweden village of Viken in this photo dated Jan. 27, 2016. Customers to the new general store need to register and download a cell phone app, then customers simply use their cellphones to unlock the door with a swipe of the finger and scan their purchases then they get charged for their purchases in a monthly invoice.

Under the system you scan each purchase using your mobile phone so first off you have to register and download an app where you identify yourself using BankID, a Swedish ID solution used by banks over there.

That way you can be identified and will be allowed access only if you have no history of credit issues.

Ah but what happens if the systems gets a virus or suddenly goes haywire?

On that score we just don’t know, but I think I’d rather deal with real people.
