| Few notes: - glucose levels are not always "normal", for instance goes high if we eat something rich in sugar while we are PERFECTLY healthy, the smart-glucometer can't know that; - a needle, even a micro-set of needles that constantly punch through our skin always in the same place is a recipe for infections and minor issues. Surely Apple, and not only Apple, like to collect as much health data as possible, perhaps in a not so far future linking them to a new kind of social score "The Life Score" who decide for instance if we need meds what we get, sometimes good ones if we are useful for the society, as decided by those who master the score itself, a small élite, sometimes something to make us die because we are evolved to be useless again for the aforementioned élite. Oh, BTW such planning-management-erotic-dreams was not much new a guy named adolf from Austria then Germany few years ago have tried a world war measuring how much "soldiers" local women can "produce" to match number of fallen ones... Try looking for Lebensborn project, which BTW means "those born out of love", a curious kind of love anyway... Is this the society we want for the future? Something like the relatively recent Canadian TV series "Continuum"? for the future distopic part, without the rebellion of course. Oh sure, we might have some marginal, in some cases potentially life-saving, benefits, but at what price? Do you really prefer being eventually saved at a certain age if you are still useful and you eventually fall ill, trading THE ENTIRE LIFE to be allowed to live under conditions you do not control if you are useful for someone else? Such ideas have born before the French revolution, perhaps earlier, just to overturn the Revolution itself, maybe it's time to recover a bit of the old good spirit dropping the rest. |
