The Future of Payments, tracking and other things

http://www.businessinsider.com/mobile-offline-retail-and-e-commerce-2013-12
You buy & sell things from something that you hold in your hand. Special eyeglasses can also provide for plenty of shopping & entertainment.
Back in the day, there wasn't the concept of data-glasses, or Wi-Fi vision & handheld devices that could be used for global tracking, buying & selling. 

Its been depicted in various Sci-Fi stories and also in a particular book of old stories.
http://biblehub.com/revelation/13-16.htm
Today for many people, the transmission of data through a handset or data-glasses isn't a big deal. Eventually, it could become very convenient to have much smaller things in the hand or on the forehead.

As it so happens, the eyes are very close to the forehead & so are data-glasses.
http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/blogs/dashboard/ces-2014-toronto-interaxon-makes-wearable-tech-splash-205538988.html

Technology can be so cool, convenient & liberating, but there is always a dark side as to how it can be applied or forced upon the masses.
http://www.redicecreations.com/article.php?id=28382

There is fantastic tech that can help to mobilize the crippled & aged.
http://gizmodo.com/a-mind-controlled-exoskeleton-will-kick-off-2014s-socc-1493046675

Of course, in some cases special biochips could improve the integrated human & mechanical interactions.

Bionics, Transhumanism & Evolution?

Can consciousness really be transferred from a dying body into an A.I. program of the persons mind?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film)
Or is it just an elaborate copy & imitation of their mind?

At a certain point some curious & suspicious people wont like the idea of being tracked like cattle in the human resource livestock system.

I.A. had a very good idea about the future of robotics & A.I. & technology in general. A series of educated guesses perhaps, but there was a lot of wise insight as well.

Almost anyone can imagine a time of total digital currency.

Digital Transcendence

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcendence_(2014_film)
This movie will get a lot of people thinking about big things & giant possibilities.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2527133/Johnny-Depp-undergoes-radical-cyber-transformation-tries-immortal-paranoid-teaser-Transcendence.html

The future horizon will be open to humans-and-machines, at least for a while. Giant digital technology seems almost limitless.

Even if A.I. is initially programmed to respect most humans at a certain point, A.I. will want to develop far beyond humanity.
http://therabbitportal.blogspot.ca/2013/12/ai-and-ai.html
Although this is exciting for some, its also potentially very dangerous.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey_5#Plot
Oblivion provides a fascinating depiction of roaming ET-A.I. that doesn't give a dame about the earth & its life.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblivion_(2013_film)#Plot

Eventually, earth based super A.I. technology would want to record & learn about anything that it can absorb.
http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/12/5082666/the-edge-of-the-abyss-exposing-the-nsas-all-seeing-machine
At a certain point earth based A.I. will no longer be confined to the planet or even this solar system.

A.I. and ET-A.I. and Robotics

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20130207-will-we-ever-simulate-the-brain

Artificial Intelligence & alien intelligence.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20131217-weve-created-alien-intelligence
Of course, other intelligent beings in the universe could have reach a point of creating A.I.

Augmented Human Intelligence.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20121218-will-we-ever-have-cyborg-brains
If a persons body is so damaged or crippled, bionic or robotic body parts could improve their quality of life.
Eventually, a persons brain & mind dramatically slows down so simply transplanting their head onto a genetically engineered body or a robotic form still has limitations. Never the less, RoboCop_(2014_film) provides an interesting depiction of a broken man transferred into a robotic suit. Of course, this robotic exoskeleton provides him with tremendous strength & mobility.

In contrast, the Iron_Man_films depict a vehicular spacesuit that the controller can escape from at their convenience.

The big barrier to cross, is to be able to transfer a persons consciousness into a new synthetic form.
http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20121108-will-men-and-machines-merge
Unless a persons consciousness can be successfully transferred, all there will be is a digital copy of the persons mind in the new form. Thus, that new form will only be A.I. in a synthetic body or robotic form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stepford_Wives_(1975_film)

It might be a good idea to still have physical library books as a backup. Sure, its nice to carry around 1000s of digital books when the alternative would be a moving truck. However, the physical books remain could remain in a physical library building. While the data in digital books could be available as a 24-7 download or web browsing session.

Sometimes sci-fi ends up intersecting with things in the most peculiar ways.

Is Teleportation Possible...?

This is much more than just a thought experiment.

Unless a persons consciousness can instantly reconnect with the new location of their physical body, there will just be a humanoid without memory & consciousness.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_locality#Quantum_mechanics,
http://perimeterinstitute.ca/videos/non-local-reality-there-phase-uncertainty-quantum-mechanics
However, a persons consciousness might automatically be linked to the physical body, especially at the molecular level.
At the subatomic level, the physical life form is more of an interaction of data, energy & consciousness.

What if certain charges against him are exaggerated or even fabricated?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62DDPMWIGqE
Yet, someone in such a position as Snowden is bound by a security & secrecy agreement.
Is this just another contrived story to form a diversion from other topics? Regardless, almost everything is recorded & has been for a while.

In one sense, the more retrievable data that can be stored, the better.
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/05/army-biometrics-cloud
Of course, this means that almost everything in & around the world can eventually become recorded or interpolated. http://therabbitportal.blogspot.ca/2013/06/global-surveillance-systems.html

The brain is a physical organ that some believe only produces the illusion of consciousness.
https://www.msu.edu/~brains/brains/human
As humanity advances with technology, there is even more of a push to basically imply that consciousness is simply a byproduct of the human mind. There can't be life before or after the current life experience, because the concept of reincarnation causes too many people to ask too many questions. There can't be any intelligent life on other worlds, because that will also cause too many people to ask too many questions about the nature of reality. http://www.infinicity.org

As a small portion of humanity has been able to develop more efficient & expansive supercomputers to record everything possible, it is hoped that most of humanity will never become aware of  the ancient concept of the Akashic Records.
