Tablet Mania

The more I think about life, and how Technology changes it, I begin to think that the future of Tablets and our daily activities will become more and more intertwined. Imagine walking into a restaurant and having a tablet on your table. Instead of ordering, you could submit your order via tablet… Wouldn’t that be great? Of course if you had questions you could ask the waiter but it would seem that life would be easier… you choose, what you want, and you get a tablet to “play” while you wait for your meal.

Another way would be that Google tracks what we all order/eat. Say you walked in with your own tablet… and got an app to order… instead of using the restaurant tablet use your own, and Google could track your eating habits too.

I could even imagine that you could have your own music, localized advertisements, or music at your table which you control. Would it be such a difficult thing to have? We are heading towards Google controlling lights via wifi… Local temperature and music will for sure follow.

If you take the bigger picture, you will also be able to log this on your social media account and it could be used for helping doctors understand everyone's nutrition problems and correlate sickness with what we eat over longer periods of time. It is only a matter of time before Google/Facebook filter our social lives online to what we eat/where we eat.

Maybe the best thing is to have Google connect to large supper markets, like tesco, albert hein, jumbo, around the world, where when you pay for your groceries, you get to keep an online log of everything you buy... Google could categorize, help tell you what you eat and how much it costs. Doctors can help you... Brokers could help you save money if you needed to.
