This is not the usual sort of Mr Jam post, but I was doing a thing for the BBC yesterday and we got talking about machines which try to be your "friend" - creepy or wonderful? What do you think?

I wish I could go to press briefings like that. Did they give you a free fone? My iphone is my best friend.

In London I once worked at a site where they used face recognition when entering and leaving.
Monday morning and Friday afternoon always gave the system problems, because at those times people would look too gloomy or too happy respectively.

If your phone become your friend, your close friend, the friend you go to bed with, the friend you like to touch, etc.

Then does it make sense that men should choose pink color phones? Choosing manly colored phone is just so.... gey.

I think they will add smell and then addiction is at full spread.

plus more weird ideas of humanization...like "caressing" devices. Eeek!

I' sure Germany will come up with laws turning the phone off after 5 hours nonstop use. So that people will be forced to eat something at least.

Good idea, but it mightbe a problem how to eat if they cannot order food online?

But there is so many use for the iPad technology.

- You can take picture of your face and upload your face to eyeglass company and they will automatically select the best frame for you.

- You can step on it with your bare foot and let it scan your bare foot and it will send your foot size to shoe company, and they will send you perfect size of shoe.

- You can sit on it with your bare bottom and let it scan your bare bottom and send your behind size to underwear company and they will send you perfect fitting underwear. (Some people may need 3 iPads. Some people only need iPhone)

- You can press it against your bare chest and let is scan and send to men-brassiere company and they will send you perfect fitting men-brassieres

Heeh, you'd be amazed to know how technology changes everything around us. We used to be fascinated by mobile phone which allowed us to make and receive phone calls. Now mobile phones are also made to function as music players, internet browsers, some even have face recognition features. Hehe, I can't wait to see what the future holds for mobile phones.
