Amazon.com has become so familiar it seems like no big deal. An online bookstore. An online department store. Yes, it killed Borders Books and probably a lot of others, but so it goes. Well, it’s about to go a whole lot further.
Amazon has quietly become the back end of a huge number of businesses on and offline. Amazon takes their orders, warehouses their stock. Amazon ships what you buy – from them. Its infrastructure is ginormous. Its next target: same-day delivery. It may be the knock-out blow for physical retail as we’ve known it.
This hour, On Point: Amazon, taking over the world.
