Smart wig

I am amazed at the crazy things I see in technology.  Sony has filed a patent for a smart wig that will "use sensors to detect everything from blood pressure to brainwaves."  This is still in the researching phase, who knows what will come of this.

Apple was granted a patent yesterday for technology that will recognize user's faces on devices.  I guess that not only will we have fingerprint scanning but now your smart phone will be able to detect a person's identity to unlock the phone.  No surprise this was coming!

Smart bra

From smart phone to smart bra....what's next?  Are they serious?  This is suppose to keep women from over eating due to stress!! Microsoft tried making one for men using underwear but it didn't work so well, it was too far from the heart.

Drone's

I love technology and how far the world has come in creating new things, but the cost of jobs is a downside.  The idea of 30 minute deliveries from Amazon is awesome!  So much for the post office, will there be any mailmen 10 years from now?

Apple's Touch ID Fingerprint Scanner

Imagine that! Trouble with the fingerprint scanner technology.  I think it's a great system for people who are concerned with privacy and the biometric technology isn't exactly new.  A lot of the issues are actually the fault of users who are not as knowledgeable of biometrics.

GPS wallets!

Wow, this will make great gifts, I would like to have one.  GPS tracking wallets, and just in time for Christmas!  Costs $99 and links to an app on your smart phone so you will be able to track where it is.  I think this is definitely good use of technology.

NSA spying

I just read this article on the NSA spying on people costing American Technology companies billions of dollars.  I wonder how Snowden feels about what he started and how this will affect his life.  Do you think he is happy living in Russia?  I don't agree to the loss of our freedom of speech or invasion of our privacy but I can't imagine selling my country out.
