Amazon Patents The Use Of Predictive Behavior Technology For Future ShipmentsNicholas West The conclusion drawn by IEEE is that the gadget of the future is YOU. Meaning that all of the data supplied, stored, and analyzed through online activity, as well as the data received from internet-connected smart devices becomes a means toward an anticipatory future of homes that will recognize what you want before you consciously make a decision. The IEEE believes that current interest demonstrates that mind controlled Smart Homes are just around the corner. Parallel to the growing ability of Big Data to sort through the information stream for meaningful connections is the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (A.I.). Facebooks newly appointed A.I. guru, Yann LeCun, has explained that once the logistics of data collection and analysis reach a more precise level, then the era of predictive technologies will emerge. The recent announcement of a new patent by Amazon.com would indicate that this stage is upon us and they are preparing to make it reality. In case you were wondering if anyone but the NSA is really interested in your data, Amazon has tacitly admitted that it might know you better than you know yourself. Through a system of anticipatory shipping, Amazon plans to send products to shipping hubs prior to actual purchases taking place. It is clearly not enough to have logged and charted where wehave been; the surveillance state wants to know where we are going through psychological profiling and predictive behavior technology. We are beginning to see the dystopian application of pre-crime technology, but now that it is entering the economic sphere we are beginning to see the bigger picture as the various dots come together and point toa truly scientific Orwellian worldthat views human beings as predictable and manageable 0s and 1s. We are being fed directly into the matrix. Whether or not you have given your explicit permission for companies to use your data in order to predict your behavior, theyve got the technology and are proving that they are ready to use it. In Amazons case, your shipmentmight arrive via drone before you know it. You can read the full patent and see the logistics here.
