Technology has dramatically altered how we shop.

From mobile payment apps like Square to location-based coupons that pop up when we walk into a store to virtual dressing rooms, retail will never be the same after Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley get done with it.?

We once relied solely on human interaction in retail stores?with a little catalog shopping on the side.

Meanwhile, robots are taking the place of the humans who check inventory on the shelves.
