"Google’s soon-to-be-realised dream of ambient computing – really the internet of things, where all smart devices, from fridges to phones, are connected – includes, at a later date, connecting humans directly to its services, and to one another – via a nanochip implant in our brain.
"This will be the ultimate, and planned, end of staring at your phone – an activity that presently involves 97% of Americans and 37% of the world. The timeline of the smartphone 2007–20** may be one of the shortest in the history of any world-changing invention." - Jeanette Winterson, 12 Bytes: How AI Will Change the Way We Live and Love (2023)
