Ever look back at some of your tech messages that you breezily sent off into cyberspace, and wished you could pull a string to yank them back?
The folks at Apple, who are supposed to be way ahead of us, in not only telling us what we want, but what we really-really need, gave us a "function" called Auto Correct on their iPhones.

Whoopee!...Can't wait until technology also reads our minds to figure out our tortured grammar & logic...maybe even put our number sequences in the right order, if the APP deduces that we are dyslexic.

VIDEO Sample of How Well Auto-(In)Correct is Faring:

Google Eyes... PROJECT GLASS...If Auto Correct didn't always divine what you were carrying around in your mind to text and decided the spelling for you, wait 'til you get a hold of these Terminator-style specs which are said to give wearers Web access wherever they go, including displaying maps that could provide directions if they found themselves lost.

Seems like we're getting closer to Sci-fact world of the Minority Report film wherein computers and your retinas become unified & connected.

The New York Times reported that the glasses are actually less distracting — “One person who had used the glasses said: ‘They let technology get out of your way. If I want to take a picture I don’t have to reach into my pocket and take out my phone; I just press a button at the top of the glasses and that’s it.’

The question has been asked: Doesn't this mean that we're only a few years away from having a USB port installed in our brains at birth?
