Does the Amazon Dash also have a radio beacon for the quad-copter to 
home in on, when delivering the groceries? ;-)

More seriously, I assume there are already Apps to allow you to scan 
product codes, create a shopping list and send it off to the on-line 
store of your choice (or to the phone of your partner).

No doubt the head mounted cameras, such as Google Glass, will have this 
shopping feature: just look at a product and say "order one!". Perhaps 
products could use steganography to have codes hidden in them so you 
could just look at someone and say "I want those shoes!".
