Do you think sometime in the future we'll just have a chip implanted in our brains that we can mentally maneuver to do everything a smart phone can do today?

Kramer was right. Phones in our heads. It's coming. It'll look like this.



There was a Black Mirror episode about this.

They were supposedly going to turn it into a theatrical movie with Robert Downy Jr. as the main character, what ever happened to that?

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

I want cellphones in the future to be like the giant foot from the classic NES game Snake Rattle n' Roll.

Where is it all? The nanobots, the A.I.s, the driverless vehicles, the stem cell cures, the longevity treatments, the human enhancement technologies? Always a few years away. Where's the amazing space technologies? Where are the rockets to Mars? Where's the space colonies? A few years away, I'm sure. Just like they were back in the 1970s.

in terms of what we tolerate, how much addiction, how much it costs, and how much we pay to be spied on i'm all capped out on phones

i admit i don't really want to lose mine and then be forced to date women with no prior internet agreement that we're already attracted to each other and can calm down and half rear end the date

but i'm also not going any further forward, ive had the same phone for like four years, i just threw it 50 feet like a baseball yesterday but it did not break, and when it eventually breaks i'll just get some kind of minimal phone to keep in my car incase i get hit by another car

im weening off lovely miniature computers for retards, please consider the same

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Lol, the ubuntu phone being the smartphone future is even less realistic than the brain implant smartphone future.
