Just check out the latest Wired Article <a href="http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71087-0.html?tw=wn_index_1" rel="nofollow">here</a>. People are getting magnets implanted into their fingers so they can "sense" electromagnetic fields. Scary stuff. I suppose you’re partially right, Josh. Just check out the latest Wired Article here.

Look at all the people who stick those crazy bluetooth earpieces into their ears and then walk around talking to themselves. An ear, a thumb? What's the difference? Well, about 5-15 years. As I see it, technology will become ever increasingly integrated with our lives. You can already see it taking shape. Years ago, who would have thought to put a tv in their car? Who would have thought that we would have Ipod's so small and so compact that we can store our entire music collection on them and take it wherever we are going? As technology becomes more sophisticated and integrated into our lives, we will think less of that boundry of seperation because by the very definition, integration will become a part of our lives. Sure, all of us want to get away from technology at some point during the day. But how about if it's technology we love? Gamers are already spending nearly all day in front of the xbox. And many of us spend all day in front of our computers. The point is that there is no limit to integration except the technical limitations. And this future isn't as far off as we think.
