“I knew I would see some technological changes in my lifetime but I never imagined a world where people would smoke electronic cigarettes.”

I suspect that the time is coming when illegal surgeons will, for a price, insert brain probes in “users” that will electronically stimulate their pleasure centers.

Also, we’re probably less than twenty years away from neurologically controlled implantable phones that will have a head’s-up display built into your eye.

In fifty years people will no longer know how to write.

Eerie predictions. Unfortunately, many of them will probably be proven correct. Those prophecies remind me of the song “In The Year 2525- If Man Is Still Alive”. Google Glass is just the beginning.
