I just got a new smart phone --a Moto X. It's pretty smart. It knows when I'm looking at it. If I want to see what time it is, I just look at it and up comes the time. Kind of creepy though... It's not smart enough to know my phone numbers though. I have to re-enter them all from my old phone, if I can find them...

I've actually taken to just waving my hand over it when I want to know the time (which works even in the dark). I sometime do that without thinking on my daughter's iPhone and stand there blankly when nothing happens.

It does sound a bit creepy to me.

I'd want it to give me a report on my blood sugar level at least.

It has face recognition software instead of a password, but it's pretty buggy apparently. I'm going oldschool with using numbers.

Like my friend's laptop with thumb print scanner: it only worked half the time.

That's cool! Does it sense the heat or movement I guess?

I think it's movement --but it's interesting that it responds even in the dark.

Phones have evolved so much in the last ten or fifteen years that it IS getting kinda scary. I wonder how they are going to evolve in the future?

Phones often have an infra red light next to the earpiece to detect when it's near your head (to stop your face touching the screen and doing things while on a call). Could be using that as the sensors in the cameras can see infra red. A good way to test a remote control is working is to hold it in front of your phone camera and press a button, when you will be able to see the light flashing.
