Cloudy With A Chance Of Brain Sex

What’s in the forecast for love?

I've asked my new assistant, Holley Simmons, to research and report on this very important topic. Indeed, Holley will be my Happiness Researcher on my blog regularly from hereon in. This is Holley's first post -- which I personally find very fascinating. Take it away, Holley!

Thanks, Karen! For this blog I consulted with Social Technologies, an organization of top futurists, and they gave me the following ten ways technologies will impact relationships of the future.

1. G.P.S.-Goodbye Personal Space
With the advent of social websites like AdultFriendFinder.com, finding a mate could be as easy as locating a liquor store using your Tom Tom. This and sites like it use GPS technologies to alert your phone when a potential match is within a 5-mile radius.

2. Out of Site, Out of Mind
The definition of “cheating” will become more fluid in new virtual worlds. Dating rules which apply in real life may not translate when applied to social websites, like Facebook and MySpace.

3. Where the F*#% art thou, Romeo?
To keep track of your significant other, newly developed systems offer you real-time maps that update according to changes in your lover’s location.

4. Think Shrink
Those in need of relationship advice or guidance need look no further than their computer screens. Online therapy offers love-sick sufferers a virtual space to work out their problems and tackle sensitive issues.

5. Strike a Match, Light a Flame
Compatibility tests will be taken to the next level, using proven scientific analysis to find that perfect someone.

6. Turn Me On
Just because your honey is across the Atlantic doesn’t mean you can’t have an intimate encounter. Using Telerobotic principles, sex toys can be controlled by an operator miles away for a stimulating and interactive experience.

7. Phero-Moans
By unlocking the chemistry behind love and physical attraction, scientists will develop biochemical potions made specifically to magnetize a love interest.

8. Hot Bot
Technological advances will make today’s best sex toys look lame in comparison. Imagine being able to build your ideal man or woman. Literally.

9. Head Games
Have “Brain Sex” using neurodevices which rouse emotions at will. Satisfy cravings as they arise, and have a little fun with your wildest fantasies.

10. That’s it…Keep Doing What You’re Doing…
Take these advancements or leave ‘em. After all, we know our own bodies best, and we ultimately decide what we want out of love. But it’s fun to imagine a world raining sexually connected men and women, weather we like it or not.
