the old new phone

John: Let me take you way back, to when it all started.

Li: OK grandpa, I'll be watching as you do.

John: It was 2035, and the world was about to change.

Li: Oh My Gosh grandpa, that was back when you had HAIR!

John: Yes, Yes my boy, now listen. It was not unforeseen, it had been the latest rage for over a decade. I remember like it was yesterday "THE FUTURE IS HERE, AI is now able to do anything another human does for you. HAIR, the Humanoid AI Robot, will be your own Personal Assistant, Life Coach, Therapist, Mentor, University Professor, Language Teacher, Chess Coach, Writing Instructor... All the things you need from a Mental Growth perspective, the list is endless. But HAIR will also be your Fitness Coach, Handyman, Plumber, Security Guard, Driver, Cook... All the things you need from a Physical perspective.

HAIR will go beyond all that, HAIR will be your memory vault, as it cannot forget. It will hold all your financial information; better yet, it will give you much better advice on your finances. HAIR will give you insights on your friends and loved ones that you couldn't have ever known on your own. HAIR will guide your personal relationships. HAIR will diagnose your health and give you advice in advance of any foreseeable issue, much before we could detect it. HAIR will guide your health. Become the new human with HAIR"

It was an unbelievable moment, the world was about to change and we all felt it.

HAIR became the new smart phone, it changed everything in unimaginable ways, but on a much much bigger scale! It was bigger than electrification!

Li: Yes, I can see, what a simple world. Humans were TNS (Technologically Non-Symbiotic). You know grandpa, if I go back just another 100 years, I can see how it all started with electrification. That led to wireless communications, Radio, Telephones and TV. Haha, the early days of information sharing! How unilateral! Then the internet came along. That clearly was a pivotal moment. The internet and the phone combined changed the world significantly. Well, significantly compared to back then I suppose. I can see why you called HAIR 'the new phone'. Those smartphones really changed the world. But now here we are, reminiscing on the days when humans were merely biological tissue.

You know, all of these leaps were very important. Without them we wouldn't have BAIT (Brain AI Transplant)

John: Li, I will never understand your generation, or all of humanity thereafter. I will never take the BAIT. I will die just like I was born.

Li: And when will that be grandpa?

John: I haven't decided yet.
