Week 12: New Ideas CONTINUED BRUTHA

And yes my faithful followers. It is now nearing the end of this blog. And to go out with an appropriate bang, I will touch on what we further learnt this week: New ideas and innovations through the use of the internet.

You have not brushed your teeth in 2 days, this app says. disgusting

With new innovations utilising the power of the internet, we are able to connect daily chores with our technological devices such as handphones and computers. such as this smart toothbrush that lets you know how much of your mouth you have cleaned out. Coolio.



Google, the mother of all cool things and innovations, has had its fair share of new inventions too. like this human-powered monorail called Shweeb: a space-age transportation device that combines the unique properties of monorail with recumbent cycle technologies.

How amazing, is the human mind to conjure up such grandiose and fancy gadgets to improve on everyday life. It really makes me wonder, will we one day end up the product of our own genius?? it is a harrowing yet humbling thought indeed. One of my most favourite and crazy japanese anime films, Ghost in The Shell, sums this up at its finest.

not porn.

Using microchips to control real-life gamers, sounds like fiction?

 What if one day, we humans and machines get integrated to such an extent that we end up losing most of our humanity to the near-perfection of machine precision? Shows like terminator and the Matrix come to mind. Maybe you think me mad, but it is already beginning. NBC has predicted that come 2017, all Americans will be retrofitted with a microchip implant that will supposedly help identify individuals in case of John/Jane Doe cases. But whats to say the chip will not be used for more dubious purposes, like say, the Montenegrin of its own citizens by the government? Premise for a new box-office smash hit much.


 So as much as we think innovations are a thing of the distant future, it is actually accelerating as a much faster pace than we think. Hopefully, I'm able to think out what I want to write on a blog without actually typing on it. It would save so much time.
