ICA-CP: Question of the Week 1/28/08-2/1/08

[This weeks Question of the Week response should be at least 200 words. I is due by 5:00 PM on Friday, 2/1/08.)

Here's the questions: What is your vision for technology influencing your life in the next 10-15 years?

Background: Read a couple of articles. On is The Next 25 Years in Tech at http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,141791/article.html. The other article is Smart Badges Track Human Behavior at http://www.technologyreview.com/Infotech/20129/. One consideration is whether our privacy will disappear as technology becomes more and more a part of our daily lives. What if, for example, your cell phone could tell your location (GPS), how fast you're walking/running (or not), whether you are standing up or horizontal (available now in cell phones for police and fire personnel), your heart rate, and respiration as well as keep track of all the items you buy online -- and post all this info on something like facebook (remember at Christmas, facebook posted what people were buying online, which spoiled Christmas surprises)?
