Do you really need a different machine for every single service in your daily life? Or can one machine fulfill several functions? The answer is YES since applications, smart phones, social media are the digital world and reality that melting into one. Vending machines are also part of the digital sphere surrounding us. Vending machines have gone through significant changes and innovations in the developed countries.
A Vending Machine is machines which dispense items such as snacks, beverages, alcohol, cigarettes, lottery, tickets, cologne, consumer products and even gold and gems are served automatically to customers after the customers insert currency or credit into the machine. This is what I found in Germany, Spain and France.
Along my experienced in Stuttgart, I have found various types of vending machine which are do not available in Malaysia. The vending machines are really innovative self-service technology and convenient to the users. Here are some of my favorite vending machines in Germany:
McDonald Vending Machine at Berlin Train Station
Ticket Machines of Deutsche Bahn
Recycling Bottle Vending Machine
Vending Machine for bicycle tubes in Berlin
Lego Vending Machine at the Munich Train Station
Cigarettes Vending Machine
Stamp Vending Machine
Recently, the more interesting news I would like to share is TG-Gold-Super-Markt aims to introduce Gold Vending Machines at 500 locations including train stations and airports in Germany. Believe it or not? Sooner or later shoppers in Germany be able to buy gold as easily as bars of chocolate after a firm announced plans to install vending machines selling the precious metal across the country. The company based near Stuttgart, hopes to tap into the increasing interest in buying gold following disillusionment in other investments due to the economic downturn.

These days, vending machines are moving away from their classic origins as snack dispensers and dispersing everything from gold coins to iPods. At Frankfurt Airport, you can even buy iPods accessories from a vending machine.

Fun isn't it? The vending machines are really convenient to the users because you can buy whatever you want rather than go to the hypermarket or workshop.
