Sounds like the wave of the future for sure. Look how hospitals handle things, they (the nurses) use a scan gun on everything they bring into the room. No doubt saves time, improves accuracy, reduce administrative costs, reduces losses.

Hey when I started in lift trucks they just outlawed sending messages to the head office by smoke signals (EPA's first course of action). When I turned 50, my boss held a good news, bad news meeting. Good News came first - here is your new IBM Think Pad laptop about $5k a copy then; Bad News - no more secretary, they are now admin. assistance - you do your own typing. And by the way there is training program tonight after work hours that will last for about 2 hours. Then we went home are learned how to lock up the computer and use the ESC, Control-ALT-Delete buttons & read the manual as it was "Sink or Swim" time once again. Talk about "old dogs and new tricks", yes they still can learn.
