Scott & Lampe; The title of this article is, smart phone of the future will be your brain was very well written.

Do we control technology or does it control us? Will it control us?It amazes me is how many companies are involved with providing software for the future. There are so many things coming around the turnpike that we don't even know how to keep up with the technology we have let alone what will come.
If the question is will Technology control us? My answer is, yes.  It can control us if we let it.  We can let it use our brains to become mush. Write down to operating a GPS.  Whatever happened to using your brain and a map for figuring out where you are?
Many people these days just turn on the GPS and let it guide them to where they want to go. This is a disturbing fact as a lot of people complain the GPS is takeing them places they didn't need to go to get them were they wanted to go. For example it will take you 10 minutes out of your way just to go to 10 minutes down the road. With a round-trip of 20 minutes, that would normally take 10 minutes.
Then there is the adaptability of the smart phones to the wristband. So tell me when are we ever become detached from our digital world, if it's connected to us?  Just like the smart glasses we will stay connected as long as were wearing them. That's disturbing to me considering the fact that most people don't even pay attention to someone in the same room with them if they have a smart phone or device they can access the Internet with. Somehow detaching from the person sitting right next to you is much easier than detaching from that person that is on the other end of the digital device.
This has changed our society, as we know it. Teens and college students these days have issues with connecting with people.  Having face-to-face eye contact for example or even just having a typical conversation. Of course there is always gift of memory loss the smart phones have given us. How many of us can remember birthdays or appointments we've put on our calendars on our devices? Yes technology has made big leaps and bounds over the past couple years. But it frightens me when there's a microchip installed in someone's brain for any sort of reason. I don't agree with the fact that we should be putting microchips into human beings. Personally I believe it is along the lines of a book from the Bible called Revelations where the Antichrist put some mark on people.

It’s hard for me to understand why anyone would want to give all their information on the little tiny microchip that could be read or accessed or hacked into by just about anyone who knows anything about computers on microchips. Let's face it that's a huge community of people. As the saying goes on most smart phones LOL! But really who will be the last one LOLING?  Not Me!
