I first saw the cellphone or the hand phone in 2004, a big one, with few friends who used it to talk with their family.By 2005, I had it as my birthday gift.I had never imagined that over the next 10 years, the device will undergo so much change that from connectivity it will move to the level of experience everything.
The first few phones I had were stones to be more precise and were used more for talking to everyone and moved on to listening to music as well.The last phone had some internet facility so I could check my mails at times.But the current Android phone has taken it to a different level with Whatsapp being the toast of all.
You are connected all the time get any information on the go and can be omnipresent in whatever sphere of influence at any point of time.This has reduced the attention span to enormously low levels and the human touch is missing everywhere now.
The idea now is it take every device to Internet of Everything.Create intelligent devices and they will understand what is required from them.Devices like these will have everything except the human ability to understand the problem.If they get to the level of understanding every problem, a lot of solutions will start generating and they will procreate to the level of "Matrix" thereby questioning the very existence of humans.
Since Change is the very essence of nature, if an idea has been created, it is possible that Inception and Matrix will happen in the near future, the timeline of which is to be ascertained.Till then we must enjoy every progress that Technology is making.This is at the expense of certain people who are rendered worthless and have to relearn the new skills for survival.Being a hunter - gatherer was never ever ever a bad option :)
