Remember the last time you needed an extra screw or nut and had to drive to the local hardware store to get it? Amazon is taking a shot at solving this problem. Using your phone’s camera and a new app called “Part Finder”, Amazon can scan a part and identify it for you. You can then order it through the app and get it delivered effortlessly.
