That's bs... No, wait I take that back; that's pathetic. What the hell happened to getting off your fat ass and walking down the store huh? I could just see it now; people sitting around, their automatic chairs taking them to the fridge, uh oh, no pork rinds, better order some more..
"Of course.. you're one of the "in" crowd. You don't have any nasty habits people might be offended at, no real opinions on any issue beyond the next fashion craze, and if there's some people who are cut out of the system and starving just outside the wall, what business is it of yours? They could've grabbed a data-mining job just like you did."
What a sad world that would be. And more and more as the "lazy technology" would set in, people would get more and more out of shape, weak minded, and weak period. Then they would brood more weak children, escentially making a society of sloths.. I like to call it De-Evolving...
Hrm, I don't know. Look at the state of the internet right now. If you hop into a game of Quake3 or just go for a chat somewhere, you are filled with children, trying to hack, or spam you..
A perfect reflection of this would be JeffK. People really do think he's real. Gullible fools..
The claim of the internet as the information superhighway has pretty much stopped... that information superhighway needs to be fixed of it's pot holes before we widen the lanes..
Freedom? I dont think so. We cant even keep ourselves mature, much less try to make the internet a better place. This is only a dream for now..
I don't know if I can believe that. I doubt that we as a society would let that happen. Although we have gone to pretty big extremes... I don't exactly shine on becoming 1/2 robot.. Genetic engineering is something that should have been stopped quite some time ago. We have no right to play "God" (Which ever god you worship) if it's dealing with technology or biology... Computers running my life? Telling me what to do? I don't think so. Screw my palm V, I want to go for a hike, oh wait, I cant anymore.. there arent any more hiking trails.. I have to run a program.
How far into the future will that take? Remember that 40 years ago, people thought that we would be wearing space suits, using jetpacks, and flying around space. Things like that get over-rated. I predict that 10 years from now, the computer industry will be mucho faster yes, but it all depends on what the government allows us to have access to. They just recently unlocked the power of the GPS (so to speak) and don't forget that all the technology that we get is always used federally first. LCD screens, gps, the internet, they were all federally funded projects. Keep that in mind. I do wish I had a jetpack though. =)

Sorry for that little rant
