It’s 2027, and you’re walking down the street, confident you’ll arrive at your destination even though you don’t know where it is.

.....................

Well, it is 2017 and the signs of the times should provide everyone an impetus to know without a shadow of a doubt their eternal destination . . . .and that trip might be before 2027. Get your house in order everyone . . .Jesus could come back at any time. . no one is guaranteed a next breath on earth. http://www.thereishopeinjesus.com/

Guess I’m not the only one.

I use mine as an answering machine, sometimes I call out.

What about my flip phone?

It will have multiple uses depending on the app:

paper weight
door stop
chair (or table) leveler
hockey puck

Anything but a communication device.

A woman approaches you in a coffee shop and within seconds, facial recognition software gives you her name, facebook posts, financial statement and sexual history.

Who the hell needs a blind date.

No problem, no smartphone now and never felt the need for such. If I were to get one, would never be an Apple product.

I like blind dates.

They believe me when I tell them I have Paul Newman blue eyes and Robert Redford looks.

I’m always struck by how stupid Siri is. I find it useless.

The woman who is my tech contact at a CAD software company is named Siri. She is anything but stupid!

—a "body area network" of computers, batteries and sensors residing on our wrists, in our ears, on our faces and who knows where else.

Who knows where else? Maxwell Smart had a phone in his shoe heel, which might be a good place to have it not get lost or stolen. How about as ear-rings? (Get it, "ring-ring".) Or (heaven-forbid) as nose-rings. I think future phones will find a place on our wrists, as thin transparent bracelets with curved displays. Apple will issue ever-thinner Apple Watches until it becomes razor thin as a bracelet. Hopefully with a flashlight beam, even better a high-power laser. No implants, please.
