A Darwinian Future

Synopsis

Technology evolves like any organism. We've witnessed this in the field of telecom. In 2014, there were 4.55 billion mobile users worldwide, 50% of which were Smartphone users. Being the dominant species, Smartphones had taken over our lives by 2028. It seemed as if the future was exponentially progressing and too fast for most of us to keep up with. The innovative 'Project Glass' promised many different exciting advancements. Some were well received by the world, while others bordered on privacy violations. They had to pull out of the market eventually. The next stage in the evolution of telecommunication seemed logical. But with the advent of the 'Machines', it became our greatest weakness.
