Did you ever imagine that you could purchase all of your home goods online with the swift click of a button? Welcome to the 21st century! Ad Age reports that e-commerce overall has grown 30% within the U.S. just this past year. Amazon.com leads among competing e-commerce sites. The top three most purchased items were laundry detergent, toothpaste, and health snack bars.

Analysts believe that the gradual increase in e-commerce is largely due to the creation of the Amazon Dash button. These buttons are purchased through the Amazon site and are specific to one particular product that requires constant refill, i.e. detergent, dog food, baby diapers, etc. The button syncs to the desired Amazon account and is connected to the net through the home WiFi router. When the item requires restocking, the user simply presses the button to place an order on Amazon, delivering the good to their doorstep within the next few days.
