			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At the <a href="http://www.cesweb.org/">Consumer Electronics Show</a> last month, Samsung revealed a touch screen vending machine called <a href="http://www.samsunglfd.com/solution/feature.do?modelCd=uVending">uVending</a>. It has sensors and Wi-Fi that gauge restocking needs and measure sales performance, as well as a camera meant to ward off potential vandals. The customizable gadget will be released this year in malls across the country and later in the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>The 46-inch screen will prominently display animations and an interactive list of options. Consumers are even able to take a detailed 360-degree view of the product on the screen prior to purchase.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/03/AR2010020303498.html"><em>The Washington Post</em></a>, the very first vending machine was invented in 215 B.C. by Hero, an Alexandrian mathematician. His coin-operated invention dispensed holy water. While the consumer relationship with these machines has essentially remained the same, uVending allows a more interactive approach which creators and product companies hope will offer a more fun vending experience.</p>
