self servicing kiosk

kiosk
   Self serving kiosk is a prime example of automation. People create ways to earn more and work less which gave birth to self servicing kiosks. These kiosk are often called vending machines they are simple programed devices which complies to a touch of a button. 



   But is it really reliable? With machines comes a chance of breaking down. Since it is a simple mechanism it does not have a corrective process for example a piece of merchandise is stuck it can't differentiate that the merchandise is stuck as long it has done what its programed. It is often vulnerable to cheating since most kiosk are not monitored by it owner frequently people find ways to cheat its programing. Their programing is so simple that if you cheat their sensors it will dish out its merchandise.


   We can say it is a useful tool but as such it comes with its pros and cons. We should be wary in using it since it is just a machine and it can not be reasoned with.
