About to run out of toilet paper? Don鈥檛 panic. Last week Amazon unveiled Dash, a plastic button that orders specific items to your door with a push. Each button is preset for a particular product, and connects to Amazon via Wi-Fi. Users can stick the buttons next to their stash of products that will need restocking 鈥� nappies, laundry powder, Gatorade 鈥� then press to order more when they run low.
