Cellular phones are getting smaller and smaller... it's bad enough, today, when you see people walking down the grocery store aisles, and sidewalks apparently talking to themselves, when they're actually talking on their bluetooth grasshoppers mercilessly chomping on their ears.

The day is coming, you heard it here first, where phones will be surgically implanted in out skulls... kind of ala the cochlear implant.  No outward mechanism required, all you have to do is twitch your head once to the left to answer the call, and once to the right to hang up.

A double-left twitch will put the call on hold, and allow you to take the skull-waiting call, and a double-right twitch will allow for conference skulling.

It's not bad enough that everyone walking down the street is talking to themselves, but now they'll look like homeless zombies, twitching as they go.

Who are you kidding, you know you want one.  It'll be the Realtors who adopt them first, then the stock brokers and traders, then the school teachers... and then, they'll come for you.

What a world, what a world, what a world.

Alan, The first step towards the actual creation of the Borg collective :)  And I don't have trouble picturing Net/phone access becoming an always on, implant style device some day.  And really, Big Brother won't be watching......

Sorry, I don't think so.  Implanting foreign objects is not for me.  I don't even like the look when people walk around during all waking hours with a hands free device on their ear.

Good morning Alan. You may be right with this,, and it is scary. I on the other hand, long for a simplier time and find this stuff offensive. Just sayin...

Jack - well.. as Realtors we're fair game anyway.

Kathy - we all like to be "plugged in", don't we?

Karen Anne - you can't imagine how distressed I would be if everyone looked like Seven of Nine.

Patricia - the ultimate "blue tooth"?

Mike - if woman can survive, they may find...

Margaret - not sure I'm willing to have that implant done at my local strip-mall.

Charles - or so I hear.

Liz & Bill - oh, big brother has been watching for years.

Kathryn - I know... I always want to slap it off.

Sheila - I wonder what they found offensive 100 years ago?

Your ruminations are a decade too late Alan. They designed an implant that goes into your tooth in 2002 already.

Hi Alan - The first time I saw a guy walking down the street, talking loudly and gesticulating wildly, who wasn't a lunatic, was years ago in downtown Chicago, just after cell phone headsets first came out. If they start implanting, the lunatics will have almost perfect camouflage again.

Malcolm - you need to scroll down to the bottom where it reveals itself as an April Fool's joke. (see the image below).

Dick - pretty soon it'll be ALL lunatics.

If and when that ever happens, I'm refusing to become part of the skull twitching crowd.  I'll move to a cabin in the mountains and talk to squirrels.

Chris Ann - I'm sure the squirrels will be "plugged in".

Hey Alan,

It is weird to see people talking on the phone while appearing to be talking to themselves.  I'm looking forward to the day when laptops/Ipad are virtual devices accessible anywhere and not hardware to carry around.  Best of success to you this year!

Steven - they make it sound so creepy, doing surgery on cadavers!  Ringtone of the living dead?

I really don't doubt too much what you say, Alan.  You may have also inspired someone to start working on one!!

It would not surprise me at all Alan.   The only thing that bothers me is where will I have to plug in the charger??
