#IfYouReadOneThingToday - On drive-through tech

Normally, any given #IfYouReadOneThingToday story is a particularly memorable, resonant example of long-form journalism. I share them because I want y'all to enjoy a good read, to be provoked a little by it. And hopefully be inspired.

Today's suggestion isn't remotely a feel-good story - unless you happen to like the idea of dystopian technologies redefining how fast food drive-through lanes operate.

I share this not so much to make you feel better (in fact, the implications may very well terrify you) but to mark a moment in time where technology reaches yet another historic inflection point. This is a news story that happens to explain one facet of our rapidly changing landscape.

And if you're still hungry by the time you finish reading it, I'll humbly suggest the healthier options in the grocery store just across the parking lot.
