The future is going to e a very scary place...  It's already here. The cell phone is highly productive for DARPA's purposes. I've heard it called "The snitch in your pocket"! The age of singularity is just about here. And people like Mr. Kerry even wrote papers on how "it was a good thing" !Check out the new brain mapping program. Interfacing now a days is very easy. Not my forte', but it's well beyond what you would imagine. DARPA used to have a video a long time ago on what their objectives were and how it would be done. Scary stuff! Even the everyday stuff we use is getting scary as far as invasion of privacy... " Color uses your iPhone's or Android phone's microphone to detect when people are in the same room. The data on ambient noise is combined with color and lighting information from the camera to figure out who's inside, who's outside, who's in one room, and who's in another, so the app can auto-generate spontaneous temporary social networks of people who are sharing the same experience.
Another app discussed is, Shopkick, which gives people rewards for walking into certain stores. While you might think it could accomplish what it needs with GPS, apparently the stores in question have special devices that emit sounds that you can't hear, the microphone on your phone can pick up, thus "confirming" that you really entered the store."
