    Every time I hear about World Coin scanning people’s retina’s for $50, driver monitoring tech inside new cars, or Amazon asking people to pay for things with palm prints I feel a bit like I’m living in the Minority Report. Does that count?

          I like how every single new car model is an almost-identical Crossover.

            Funny story, I live in a place where people turn up their noses at the slightly smaller crossovers for identity reasons, and there’s a noticeable trend towards driving scooters with an aftermarket envelope because “normal cars” are just too big.

      The future isn’t necessarily positive I guess
