our family sometimes participates in market research or sensory research product tests. most often it's food, but sometimes there are other items like women's make-up, men's grooming products, etc.
well, today i went to update our user profile to include the kids.
i just had to laugh when it asked what stores the 7-month old frequently shopped. it also asked if there was a restricted diet. i had to answer 'yes', but when asked to explain i just put that he's a normal infant with normal infant eating habits.
automation can be a great tool, but it might someday overtake the human race if we don't account for common sense.
