Domino’s Tests Text-A-Pizza

by Tyler Knott Gregson | August 21st, 2007

Talk about the ultimate for a mobile-warrior!  Ever have hunger pangs and just didn’t have the energy to pick of the phone and actually TALK to someone about your order?  Well, if you are that person, first off, I feel sorry for you, but second off, good news for you!  Over the pond in Great Britain, Domino’s Pizza is testing out a new system that allows pre-registered users to simply text message the Domino’s text number with their order, and the pizza will be delivered, hopefully within the famous Domino’s 30 minutes or less?

That’s right friends, if it works over there, hold onto your hats because there’s a very high possibility that more restaurants, in more countries, yes, probably here, will follow suit and introduce their Own version of this Text-for-Food.  I don’t know why, but it makes me sad.  Not that I didn’t expect technology to advance to these levels, but it just makes me feel like in 200 years we’ll be the laziest bunch of creatures the planet has ever played host to.

Therein lies the rub.  At what point does technology slip past convenience and into sloth?  When does easy become too easy and where is the boundary between human interaction and almost never having to interact again?  You tell me folks, I’m all ears…
