A fashion statement that merges man with machine

The Toronto Star – Is your cellphone a part of you? Maybe not yet, but it could be soon. [...] Every step forward in the field of electronics seems to make our lives easier and, on the whole, better. So it makes sense that we love technology enough to want to get close to it, to want to embrace it, to want to become a part of it and have it become a part of us.

What this really means is that humans are taking evolution into their own hands. We’ve figured out that quicker transmission of information equals more knowledge and faster turnover in activities. And technology is keeping pace with our growing need for connection. It’s simply not acceptable to wait for information in this day and age. If I want to know something, I want to know it now, not when I can find a library or get home to use the Internet. It only makes sense that the next step in our technological evolution is constant “anywhere” access to anything we want to know.
