Wal-Mart has announced that they will be joining Google’s online shopping platform Google Express, purportedly with an eye towards Amazon, according to a report.

“Google and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. are joining forces in a partnership that includes enabling voice-ordered purchases from the retail giant on Google’s virtual assistant, challenging rival Amazon.com Inc.’s grip on the next wave of e-commerce,” reported The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. “While the deal will add hundreds of thousands of Wal-Mart items to Google Express, it will also give Wal-Mart access to voice ordering.”

This is a no for me. Don't care for this type of shopping.

We still cannot understand why anyone would shop online except if the item can not be found in a local store.

At times I'll order things online, especially when I'm down here where a trip to a large store is not a quick trip. But when I'm home I want to see and hold what I'm about to spend money on.

Virtual assistants are an invasion of privacy, constantly on, recording what is going on in your home. One man's murder trial was wanting, transcripts and tapes fom the guys Alexia to see if it recorded anything about the murder. Never did read anymore about it. Was it hushed up? After all big business wants to sell these unnecessary gadgets.
