I think it will lead us in a different direction, toward greater and greater augmentation. Mobile tech, Google Glass, etc, will become sensory extensions. The next logical step is to integrate them into our bodies, and then expand their capabilities.

I personally think of my smart phone as a way of communicating with people who are not stood next to me.

the more important question is why do people feel they do not need to look up from their fucking plastic and metal timesuck when they are walking down the sidewalk.
PAY. FUCKING. ATTENTION. TO. WHERE. YOU. ARE. WALKING. CUNTS!

The more and more I find myself reliant on my phone for tasks nobody needed one for just a few years ago, the more it repulses me. I have this feeling that there might be a backlash that could cause the technology to take a more passive role, while still providing the input we desire. The very act of having to pull it out of my pocket, unlock it, find the app, tap on shit, digest information, and then switch to other apps (all the while using up brain power to control my clumsy hands and not drop the damn glass covered device) becomes somewhat laborious. To think that input will remain this way is like thinking the original telephone was the ultimate in distant communication. Evolution of technology will hopefully alleviate all the hassle and get it out of our faces. While it's definitely brought people together, it's annoying having the technology literally between us in an aluminum case.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
