Chapter 2, Who Owns the Future

As we move into a changing and more challenging generation, we are becoming ever more reliant on "the internet of things". This term reminds me of this book because we really don't know who owns the future. The theory on the internet of things is that in our lifetime, things will be able to speak with one another. Our coffee pot will communicate with our alarm clock and start brewing before we wake up. Things will get to this point at some point in our generation. We need to remind ourselves how to accomplish daily tasks and take our phones and computers away for a little while. I am personally worried that some people cant do anything without their phone, laptop, iPad, etc. If we cant do the basic things in life without being distracted by technology, do we really want them to be ones who "own the future"??
