Smart Phone Suggestions
If I have a smart phone and I have enabled my GPS so that all my friends can see where I am and I am
standing in a train station and ask the phone for “schedule inbound”, why doesn’t the phone tell me
when the next train will arrive to take me to Chicago?
If I turn on my TV and watch the advertisements, one of them tells me to go to WebMD and take the
cholesterol health check: http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/cholesterol-health-
check/default.htm
This is one more indication that the concept of “pocket advisor” is coming rapidly. Why is it that most
people reject my notion of a “pocket advisor” and that they have to be convinced of its logic by
expensive advertising campaigns?
When will I be able to have my doctor automatically send my health records to WebMD so that I can
get even more information without having to transport it manually from my doctor to the web site?
Why does all of this obvious technology take so long for humans to accept?
At some point will people be able to have their “pocket advisor” make decisions as to sharing my
health data and accepting new technology?
Then the only advertisements will be to tell people to “Trust your pocket advisor”. Once they get this,
then new technology will be accepted rapidly because the stupid, old-fashioned, old-person mentality
will have been removed as a roadblock.
