Very soon humans will not have any purpose in life but to replicate themselves. At least before the computer came along we kept ourselves busy. But now we are getting computers to do the jobs that make up life. We already precluded the need for math a long time ago.But know their are spell checkers and even applications that check your spelling as you write. I just saw on "The Site" how computers will be in shoes, in milk cartons and in door mats. The human bodies salinity will act as a conductor for the binary information. You pick up the milk carton which then tells your your shoes that its not fresh. Then when your foot touches the door mat in Publix it tells your watch to beep and say "You DONT Got Milk" Then their will be that the floor in your apartment tells the coffee pot to make coffee because it found a low caffeine level in your body. You can shake hands with someone and automatically transmit their business card to the hard drive in your shoe. The pay phone will know exactly who to bill the second the receiver is touched. But what if I bump into you, now I have your business card. What if I steal your shoe! Oh but dont worry, all this information will be ENCRYPTED.As we all know once something is encrypted its perfectly safe.Yeah right, And Bill Gates still uses a 310 baud modem. If someone really needs to know what's on your shoeputer then they will set their 1586 700Mhz (or whatever they have by then) do do just that. So what if it takes 2 weeks or 2 months. They will have every single aspect of your life from your medical records to credit card numbers to phone number(will they even USE phone numbers by then) to your shoe size. But wait theirs more. If you haven't been crawling through a cave for the past few months you will see that Intel boasts that their chips will be able to perform 2 gigaflops or 2 billion calculations per second.Can you imagine that. If you did one mathematical calculation per second it would take you 31 thousand years. It did it in a second, don't you feel dumb. Now imagine had one of these bad boys and your shoes. How long would it take? Two hours, three or maybe, if its really dragging, a day.Thats just the good old steal it and use it technique. I don't even want to go into how people could intercept information, copy it, or make their own.Well , I think I caused you enough cranial burden for today, so remember technology is like drugs, there are always more and they keep getting more effective but you do not need them. They need you. Jonathan Leto
