SHORT ANSWER
   This industry of fast mobile delivery has grown so much because people like the convenience. When people come home from work they don't want to stand in line at the grocery store when they could just have something delivered to their house or people don't want to wait in traffic when they could be going home to relax. Everything these days are made for convenience because that is what people want in order to live their busy lifestyles. 
   My family does use us mobile delivery just not the 1-2 hour kind. We buy things off of amazon all the time and are prime members. My family does it for the deals that amazon offers but also for the convenience factor of not having to drive to the store and find what you want. When we can do things in the comfort of our own hem, we do.
   I think that this new technology has targeted "millennial's" because this is a growing industry. Every company wants their product to be bought but if some are offering this new and more convent way of shopping then other companies have to target those people so that their stores don't get left behind. Since a lot of companies are advertising their mobile services, lots of people hear and read about it.
   I do believe that I will use these services regularly in the future. I like to do things efficiently and the most convenient way and I think this is it. Also, if i ever have kids or am sick i'm not going to want to leave the house so I can just have what I need delivered to me. Furthermore I think in the future they will have improved these services and items may be delivered even more quickly to your homes. I think that this revolution of online shopping is going to be the normal in the future and that I will defiantly take part in it.
