What started as an online bookstore is totally changing the retail landscape across the world. Almost every retail company in the U.S is feeling what analysts call the “Amazon Effect”. Earlier this year Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) teased its upcoming innovation in the retail market: Amazon Go. Amazon Go will let customers walk into stores, pick up items and walk out. No checkouts, no long queues. Amazon will use sensors and deep learning to make this experience possible. After becoming the market leader in ecommerce, Amazon pioneered the smart home industry with Amazon Echo, one of the cheapest and most efficient smart home assistants. Amazon has also become a competitor of Netflix with the launch of the Amazon Prime video streaming service. Fast Company ranked Amazon as the most innovative company of 2017.
