Cyborg

People complain about the hassle of going on an airplane, but really an airplane is just another place to use your phone. That's all the world is anymore, a series of places to use your phone. It doesn't matter if you're eating dinner with your grandmother or driving a car through a 4 way stop. Part of your mind is always on your phone, did someone text or email or snap me, did I see a picture of that on facebook or instagram, that reminds me of something someone tweeted yesterday. These thoughts dominate our consciousness, the internet owns part of our mind, we are all becoming cyborgs and I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I never have to know how to solve a math problem anymore and I don't need to store trivia in my brain. So what do I need to know? HOW TO ASK (the computer) QUESTIONS! As the ability to answer questions becomes ubiquitous the ability to ask questions becomes paramount.
