In the times just before The Singularity, W3 Logistics introduced YellowBot to the world. Originally YellowBot was just an app. Their rival, Great Blue, concerned over the ever more popular YellowBot app, played some ruthless politics and secured an agreement from the World Governing Body, WGB, to have first bid on any future frequency bandwidth.

Millions of small bright yellow alcoves allowed anyone to place an order from just about anywhere. YellowBot was smart, with algorithms ready to spit out most frequent orders when users logged in.
