Tech and stuff

A new X-Box is coming out. Microsoft has some patents out there that might tell us what it is going to be like. One of the patents would have the machine project throughout the whole room. The new machine will be able to identify at least six people in a room. Yahoo News - The Next Xbox.

Yahoo - Business Insider - Google Is Working On A Technology That, If Perfected, Would Save 1.2 Million Lives Per Year. Yep, self driving cars. They supposedly drive even better than you or I. I hope my readers can see where this is heading. You will not own your own personal vehicle, if you do then you will be taxed for every mile you drive. The rest of us will use cars following a zipcar philosophy where you only pay when you use the car. You will be bio-metrically identified or you will not have access to the cars or even mass transit eventually.

More stuff on the creepy list. Wired - The Web of the Future Wants to Hear What You Have to Say. The article says that the technology has been developed allowing you to control your internet experience using just your voice. I find this interesting because in England they are installing voice detection technology on their street lights that allows them to hear your conversations, this is also happening on buses in the United States. So, I guess in addition to hearing our conversations, the technology will be able to predict what you intend to do.

I have to say that most of the news isn't as interesting to me anymore. All I see is more and more confirmation of what I have already written about. Things I wrote about as coming when I began this blog are already being sold and implemented. It has already been announced that the new Galaxy S4 will watch your eyes to determine what you are thinking and what you are thinking about typing. Fox News - Everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy S4. The future is about bio-metrically identifying you before you can use any technology and then you have to be approved and probably pay based on usage.
