Amazon’s one hour delivery service may not be widespread yet, but the company has already found another way to make life more convenient for customers—making us even lazier. It’s introduced the “Dash” push-to-buy button, which allows customers to literally just push a physical button to place an order for a product.  One-click ordering is harder than this. 

The buttons, free for Amazon Prime members, are only available for select brands, like Tide and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. You know, the important stuff. For Dash, customers need the Amazon app on their smartphones hooked up to their home’s Wi-Fi. Once all your payment info is plugged in and you've selected what product you want, your preferences are saved forever and the button is ready to go. The next time you press it an order will be placed and delivered to your doorstep.

If you're worried about late night drunken purchases or your cat some kid messing with the button, Amazon has you covered.

As of now the Dash buttons are in testing mode and customers can only have three buttons.
