 Analysis:

Vending machines are unique old machines thats been around for many years. The first commercial coin operated vending machines were introduced in London, England in the early 1880s for the convenience of busy and hungry businessmen(prestigevendingaz). Vending machines are helpful when needing a quick snack or when craving for your favorite sugar or salt. Vending machines are selling many things some countries are selling real produce like vegetables, fruit, bread, even beer!. Future wise vending machines are the hidden big sale for the near market. There becoming the future best food vendors by slowly becoming a machine for grocery, restaurant food products. This defines that this will be the best way to get your food fast with only a touch, and food ready in minutes. 

Inserting vending machines in busy cities and having people order there favorite food from a vending machine is something extraordinary and smart. Marketing is looking for more, never less. Technology is something that's increasing in our generation so with that taking the little things (vending machines) and making them more. Examples of futuristic machines (digitlistmag) explains, connecting to social media and transferring money could be added to machines so you could get money faster and creating an account with the vendors so you will automatically be in the systems. 

Bullet answers:

1. The global impact, national impact, and local/personal impact:

It impacts globally with creating new ways to vender food in a faster and efficient way. It changes time. Time is precious. So waiting in line to get one of your favorite food and you only have 30 mins to have lunch would be upsetting. If having vending machines around the corner near busy ares for everyone to grab and go with there food in mins is saving time and energy. and thats a national impact. It creates a change as a whole to save time and money.  

2. Forecast the range of impact over the short term and long term.

Short term is observing the target audience and having a test run on the future vending and observing data to see what will make an impact for the future goal for vending food. Long term is going further with the observing and always focusing on what people want in there vending machine and not what the markets want. Target audience creates the market and the sales.

3. What could you do, or could be done to create the greatest positive impact on the future.

Advertise the product correctly from observing and asking questions to the people, and present it to the audience by giving examples on how vending machines could be the new "food truck." And how it will impact us greatly for saving time and energy.

4. What could you do, or could be done to create the greatest negative impact on the future?

 If not advertise correctly or not gathering the right information from the audience could then not be efficient, but be a slow progress to getting the "future food vender" and make a less impact in the near future.

5. Which region of the future does this relate closest to or does this fit in between or perhaps a region of the future you’d like to define for yourself. Could be 2 things super tech & limit tech both to do with technology and social changes.
