Star Trek Now…
One of the things that has surprised me this week is the power of the small computer that I carry with me every day (my droid). When I was working I never had the time to actually stop and think about how amazing it truly is. We were on the subway platform and my husband says, “it’s even telling me which side of the platform I’m standing on.” An esoteric question arises about Queen Victoria as we wait for the train (snow delays) and boom–I’m googling it using voice search. Voice Search! It is accurate almost 100% of the time. When did that happen?
And, of course, the most amazing thing–I can stream live video directly from my droid to the world (not that I anything worth streaming). When I was working I didn’t have time to stop and be amazed…
How Star Trek is this?

Karen, a droid?! What happened to the iPhone? I recently got a Droid too and now that I’m semi-resigned I hope to have fun with more of its apps. My husband is a huge scifi-er and was just saying how the technology that is out today is actually a few years old. Having young kids its almost freaky to imagine what they’ll be using ten years from now in school. ‘Beam me up’ may be a normal thing.
