RFID, help or hype?
phodi thinks: With every new technology there are numerous loopholes that will be exploited not only by criminals, but by government agencies and corporations. The government is the police and sadly there is no one to police the police. This information about our spending patterns, movements and even social detail will be used by the government in one way or another as a technique to control the masses. It is the same as anything-the more I know about a particular subject, the more I can utilize and exploit it. For insance, I am more intellectually superior to a dog and can therefor control it. It is no different between the government and the people. Who will be put in control of this information?

Over-reliance on technology
phodi thinks: It seems that the main economic objective of each nation is to increase the production of services and good that in turn prolong our lives and happiness. Their aim is to make our lives more efficient and 'easier'. This is relatively obvious. If we are aiming for progression in technology will the end result be an entire reliance, not only physically, but emotionally on technology? Eventually, will all these advancements not lead to us no longer needing our bodies, whilst a computer or other device provides us with our emotional needs such as happiness? I know this seems particularly farfetchd and do be aware that I am not taking into account any global catastrophes, but that surely must be the end result of perfected technology.

Jetlag Relief
crayzon thinks: Humans have an amazing ability to adapt to changing conditions. it's up to the individual to know their own bodies and find what works best for them. I for one will take two mini jack daniels bottles to help soothe my nerves and lapse me into a peaceful in-flight nap.

Intrusive advertising
lou thinks: how about neither A or B - these two views are not exactly the opposite of one another. pop ups and other big ads can be entertaining at times when you are in the right mood for this kind of thing. basically they just need to be easy to get rid off if you want to - dont try and trap me in the ad - thats just annoying...

Intrusive advertising
Champ thinks: Expanding flash banner ads should be banned for use in online advertising. Too many times I am faced with an ad that covers the content I want to say and not giving me an option to close, ultimately leading me to ignore the whole reason I went to the site in the first place.

Intrusive advertising
aloysiusbear thinks: I think it a real pity that everything these days is so commercialised that we have to have rotten bloody advertising at all. The world seen through the eyes of the corporations is a kind of Disneyworld where nothing bad ever happens - except of course if they have a way of making money out of the remedy - if all the money spent on advertising were put into making better products and making them cheaper, we would all be better off. My message to you, Phillips, get out of my life.

How will family bonds of changed by technological impact in 2020
ca thinks: It's up to the individual family and culture that generally defines the how close a family is. In the U.S., families usually live great distances away while in South America and parts of Europe families often live together until the children marry. I see it as a social phenomenon, not necessarily a technological one. Technology can only help strengthen this bond, but it cannot create something that is not there to begin with.

Is time the new currency?
BigCheez thinks: Let's face it, time is money. It may not be equivelant to a a Euro, but based on other things you could be doing rather than wasting time on unnecessary task, it can translate to something more value. Maybe you could be doing something that saves you money or makes you money. In those terms, time is the new currency. It's the one thing that we should value most as it's the one thing we can't get back.
