'Because looking like a watch checking Heathen' is so much beter? I rarely check my phone (not for missed texts or for the time) so I doubt somebody will ever call me a phone checking heathen. But the functionality stays the same. If I was in a meeting and sombody checks their phone every 5 min I would find him rude…

hmm, You see I have this thing called a mobile phone. I carry it with me everywhere. And when I look at it, it shows me the time. I can even set an alarm on it or use it as a chronometer. And if I want some eye candy I just download a new wallpaper for it. It's very nifty. So paying 425 for a watch or buying a new…

Here is hoping for the singularity so in time we can transfer our conscious to a brand new robot-body because not looking…

If there is one company that needs to be smashed over the head by the disruptive force of a google or amazon, it is ticketmaster.

A brain/machine interface hmmmm. I can't see anything going wrong with that ....

I'm with you on that one!

You forgot about robots controlling monkeys

Apperently more or less the same way you get a human to play a videogame via his toughts (although with implants).

Which is still better then the rest of the world. In africa they will still be using wooden prosthetic limbs. In Russia they will still have the, hard polyester prosthetics and in Japan, mmh, ok Japan might have us beat in this department ...
