Imagine that you just scanned your flight ticket to confirm details and your sixth sense told you that the flight is delayed by a couple of hours....well we now have a technology that basically does tell you that your flight is actually delayed...when you simply glance at your ticket...What happens here is that the Technology simply captures the image of your ticket and after feeding it into the database looks up upon the flight details and relays the information by projecting that back onto your ticket which says delayed by 2 hours....Can you believe what we are getting into ?Now this is the power of technology,imagine that you are shopping for healthy nutrient diet as per your doctors recommendations, which is pre-programmed into your computer memory and you are inside a shopping mall.Simply look at the various products or the barcode.Sixth sense(Through a camera on your body) shall capture the digital images of the product and give you a signal ,something of a green light ,projected back onto the product,to buy the recommended one as per your diet requirements and a red light for the ones not recommended.Next time at a social gathering you forget the name of your boss's best friend.Your sixth sense would simply capture his image and project his name as if by Gods Wish your sixth sense just told you who he is and also where you met him last and a list of emails you shared with him or even better ,when did you say hi to him last on Facebook.But this scares me to no end,thinking about how feeble human memory may become and how dependent may we be on this one artificial sense..by which would work every function of our life.
