Two obstacles are imperfect models and random error. The latter might be better described as, "The State of Being Human". For example, I hate SQL. I even wrote a blog about how much I hate it. That doesn't mean I never use SQL and even, if offered an unimaginably enormous amount of money, would not become an SQL programmer. In fact, I was going to write on my blog about types of sums of squares (since it is Square Root Day), but instead, I have decided to write about how robots are not taking over the world.

If Apple wanted to retrieve that data, they'd have a database of not everyone in the world, but a whole lot of them. They could also look at EXIF data and Places to find out where anyone was on a specific date and time. Also, think of all of the times that you name faces in iPhoto.

It's funny I was talking to my dad about this like last week. But yeah, I dunno if you have, but if you've ever watched some of those bizarre Animes set in the future or any of those sci-fi shows like Dr. who for an example. It's pretty much been predicted since early writings of the 20th century. Either in books, movies on tv. Maybe not all predictions are completely accurate to current time periods, but frightfully close. I used to be like hah that's not going to happened, but with today's storage capabilities and off site data back up to anywhere in the world. It's frightening to think that someday, information involving you in someway could haunt you later in life. I like the “so do you still like Apples?” I almost fell off my seat when I read that. lol! I'm already scared that Microsoft is already getting into the automotive industry. I mean come on! It's already bad enough that windows crashes. I don't really need to live that experience in real life due to a computer error lol. If Microsoft made their very own ingratiated GPS software, I would expect it to be something like that annoying paper clip guy. Anyways, yes it's is pretty crazy to really think about how information is flowing through the world wide web and how technology is growing rapidly. Google is crazy. I mean they've only been around since like what? 1999 and they already have goals. Like one I came across this weekend. When I'm bored I like to look at the predictions of future events on Wikipedia, usually way past my life expectancy. Get this by the year 2100, Google expects to have all information of the world stored on a internet database. Makes you think huh? P.S Yay, finally another soul that dislikes Power Rangers!
