Maybe one day Skype will become Skynet and subliminal messaging from answering machines will command us through the bluetooth (picture a tooth painted blue like TRON biting into your brain) to make buying decisions (almost like a wife would do except on a larger scale!).

Your post actually reminded me of an article I read at the weekend from the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/04/business/04blind.html?_r=1&ref=technology&pagewanted=all" rel="nofollow">New York Times about Google engineer T.V. Raman</a>, who is developing technology for the blind including blind accessibility for Google search and a touchscreen phone interface for blind users. But the thing that rang a bell when I read your post is that Raman is pragmatic and knows that developing stuff just for blind users limits its development so he is also working on how it will be applicable to sighted users as well. At the end of the page Raman talks about the future and the possibility of a mobile device with a camera that can read signs (road or otherwise) and convert them in to useful directions for people that either can't or don't see them, all without having to point the camera directly at the sign itself. Very encouraging for the future of mobile technology and a very impressive man.
