New Technology: The Genius Phone
We need to move beyond a phone that is merely “smart” to a phone that is a “genius.” The way to do this is through voice-recognition technology, calibrated to the user, which then prompts appropriate internet searches based on what the user is saying. Let’s say The Girlfriend and I are talking about whether there are any good restaurants near where we are — I pull out the Genius Phone and it’s already on the screen. I wonder if this movie has released yet? Who was the actor who played “Boner” on Growing Pains? What ever happened to Vanilla Ice? Again — instant gratification whenever I pull out my phone.
The only issue I can see, aside from the unreliability of voice recognition software as things stand, is battery life.

Who was the actor who played “Boner” on Growing Pains?
Dude, Boner died last week. Too soon, man.

Also I hate smart phones, but I’m too tired to elaborate on that. I’ll save it for a Tuesday.

I was too happy yesterday, Ben. I’ll try to be sadder next week.

What ever happened to Vanilla Ice?
In August 2009, Van Winkle announced on his official Twitter account that he had signed a contract with StandBy Records, who will release his sixth studio album.[79] Van Winkle is also filming a reality television series.[2]
