Left my phone at home today. What a nightmare! Friends and customers who want to call me now can't, and my wireless Internet ability is hampered (no phone = no GPRS = no mobile internet).
Technology is a great thing. Its made our lives so much easier, but i can't help but wonder whether we've become spoilt by it, dependent on it.
No phone?! YEEGADS!Will there come a point when life itself will become impossible without technology?
No fax machine?! HOW LAH TO DO BUSINESS?!
No computer?! DEATH!!!!
No PDA?! LIFE JADI KELAM-KABUT!
Yes, i foresee that time -- perhaps in the age of our great-great-grandchilren where babies upon birth are implanted with a device that will keep them alive in a fully interconnected world. That device will give them an IPv6 address (we've just developed IPv4); without it, they simply don't exist.
Cannot buy food, cannot own land, cannot open a bank account, cannot even make a restaurant or movie reservation without it. The future, where every human on earth is identified via an IP address and every interaction requires it. Don't leave the womb without it.
