Spending any amount of time "online" one soon discovers that the world has changed. In some ways the knowledge base, constantly growing and progressing, has been overtaken by the informational deluge surrounding it. Machines now talk to each other regularly -- cars to people, cars to dealerships, cars to services, refrigerators to the rest of the "integrated home," the Internet of Things has begun!
And with that -- and all the medical, feedback, and testing devices we can wear on or insert into our bodies -- keeps the information flow about our lives moving. And we can pass on that information to doctors, trainers, caretakers, or anyone we choose. The internet has quietly connected us to, and made us an inseparable part of, the universe.
Not everyone has noticed the change however. Some people still don't understand that the internet actually does exist; and it is not a fad; and it has already written the script for the next 100 years of our lives as humans. And then what? Artificial intelligence isn't saying!
