It’s absolutely incredible to think about how convenience has reshaped American consumer behavior. Grocery stores sell precooked bacon, already chopped vegetable trays, and ready-to-eat meals and you don’t even have to do the in-store shopping. Now you can order online and pick up at the store’s designated location. The newest cell phone can plug in all your accounts, picture albums, text messages, and apps off your old phone in 20 minutes, ensuring that nothing is lost as you transition from one phone to another. Writing checks is a thing of the past and more businesses are working cashless to optimize speediness and convenience. Fewer and fewer business transactions require waiting in line, so much so that I’m now having to remind myself to exercise some patience in the rare instances I do have to wait my turn in line. Convenience has been fully maximized.
In the span of just a few short years, the few remaining inconveniences in the world of trail cameras have similarly melted away. The first step was to get cameras that could transmit photos over wireless cellular networks. Like most technology, the initial cost and pricing was steep, but as the technology became mainstream for more and more users, the costs and bugs came down. Whereas at one time, a cellular trail camera may cost three hundred dollars, today you can get a Spypoint Flex-M Twin Pack for $130. That’s 2 cellular trail cameras for less than half of what a single camera used to cost. Prices continue to shrink while the technology improves.
