I guess for getting price comparisons it's not bad, but I can't really see people completing purchases this way. Why does this not sound like an effective way of shopping?

It reminds me of an article I read in the Chicago Tribune recently about a new Waterpark Hotel that opened up. Everybody wears a wristband and that's how you pay for everything (get into your room). If parents give the permission when these wristbands are issued, kids can walk up to the token machine for arcade games and swipe their wrist and out will come a bunch of tokens! If they want food, it's the same way, just a swipe of the wrist and the credit card attached will be billed. It makes spending money a little too easy... Mohan wrote:
