Imagine this: you walk down the street, and your phone or watch suddenly goes: "ding ding ding, you have the item hypo allergenic shampoo  on this week's shopping list. The drugstore 20 meters to your right has them on sale at a 50% discount for the next two hours. A further 10% discount can be had if you scan the QR code on this screen at the checkout"

 

Is that

For specials, sure it's handy. But I'm rarely just walking down the street with nothing to do. So 99% of those alerts will probably just get dismissed. I'd prefer it suggest a whole shopping list when there is a gap in my calendar, rather than just 1 item.

This was predicted with Google Glass parodies, now it's just time before iAds appear on the Apple Watch.

If you're that allergic, you probably wouldn't be out walking in all the allergens, no?
