Imagine a world where you could pay for your shopping with a swipe of a hand? Well, there's no need to imagine any longer, as this technology has arrived and is active in Seattle, USA. 

Shoppers just have to place their palms over a scanning device, called Amazon One, and payment is received. 

The technology is already in use in about a dozen Amazon stores and made its debut at a Whole Foods store this week. First-time shoppers use a kiosk to link their palm print to a credit card. This new tech will roll out into seven other stores in the States in the coming months. 

Talk about living in the future! The convenience of shopping has just reached epic heights, especially for those of us who forget our wallets and purses. No more excuses, y'all!
