Brain Locker: Ubiquitous Computing Interrupted
No. I’m not exaggerating. That’s what it feels like when I leave my net-connected iPhone behind to spend time within a secure area at USTRANSCOM.
McLuhan’s insight has been validated by recent experiments: Tools are experienced as extensions of the body. An intimate Ubiquitous Computing device like an iPhone extends memory, speech, hearing and nervous system. Removing it from my person and locking it away is like a self-inflicted virtual lobotomy.
I think the ability to go straight from a video phone up to Facebook, Twitter, etc. is going to be as transformational as the initial wave of YouTube creativity.
