In classic sci-fi style, we predict the iPhone is going to develop intelligence and kill us all. It’s currently capable of making phone-calls, identifying songs, and completing countless other pseudo-intelligent tasks. A new feature enables the device to show just how drunk you really are. The iBreath, priced at $89, is a plug-in Breathalyzer tool that can identify your blood alcohol level within .1%. The company who makes the device markets it as a handy device that lets you get home safely. Nope, we know what’s really going on here. The iPhone (and its devious gadget friends) are going to use this to determine the moment at which you become too drunk to resist their plot of world domination.
The iBreath has already made its way into the hands of the fashionable few:
"Hollywood's A-listers have been among the first to purchase the newly available gadget to insure that their mug shot is not the next one to grace the tabloids and news reports. Not only can this cool gizmo save you from career-ending embarrassment, it can potentially save you thousands of dollars in legal fees and jail time."
Yes, you’ll still have a career, and you’ll save tons of money on the lawyers. Ask yourself: will any of that matter once the robots take over?
