Delivery boys gone bad?

There's an article over at c|net about a Volvo/Ericsson program in which deliveries would be made straight to the trunk of your car.

I think this is a brilliant program that combines existing technologies. Delivery services are meant to be convenient and GPS and remote car access have been around for awhile (think OnStar). So it frustrates me to see the fearful comments on the c|net article, as if this were a new and untested technology.

Moreover, the comments sadden me, as the protagonist clearly trusts no human, and especially not strangers of a young age, working for minimum wage. He is suspicious of the demographic, and seems to assume primarily bad will come from this.

Is this a case of believing it into existence? The delivery boy has done nothing to earn the disrespect. It would seem to me that a complete lack of basic respect for another human being can only ensure an increase is wrongdoings.

Instead, I say we let the delivery boy rise to the challenge, embrace the work he has been given, take the chance that he won't rob you blind, and allow him to take pride in his work.

How does it make you feel when others believe in you?
