Sleeping is the needed for,
sugnofucantly.
When we start blending with computers
(and we will blend, not fight them in the streets), I'll tell you
what the most used app will be. Well, the most used app that anyone
will admit to using (despite 5 billion registered users in the first
month).
Sleep regulators.
Imagine being able to think “2-hour
nap” at your phone and be plunged immediately into a nice, natural
sleep that lasts just as long as you want it to. Imagine being able
to think “Put me to sleep, and wake me either in eight hours or if
one of the people on my Emergency list calls”. Imagine (I did,
last night) being able to think “I have a really early shift
tomorrow morning, put me to sleep now instead of waiting for 1am when
it'll really do more harm than good”.
Of course, the beta release will put
200 people into irretrievable comas, which will somehow generate
9,000 lawsuits, most of which will be settled out of court for a
lifetime subscription to the full release with updates.
Skynet's not going to have to launch
any nuclear missiles, just promise a new season of Firefly via dream
channels (for an extra $49.99 a month, you can get Inara : Secrets of
the Companions series as well). At that point, we'll all just lie
down and let them get on with things calmly.
Wait, isn't that the plot of the
Matrix?
