On uxmatters.com, Demetrius Madrigal and Bryan McClain write about technology trends and the human experience (http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2012/03/ahead-of-the-curve-technology-trends-and-the-human-experience.php). They describe how fashion outlets for technology are emerging and that the next step may be customizing technology itself for people. In addition to this they the see the social technology trend re-emerging with new devices and incresing connectivity.
To go further, these trends show us how technology is getting personal, merging with ourselves, conquering different context and patterns of our daily life. Like fashion once became our "second skin", technology now follows the same path and that's why fashion outlets for smart phones etc. are increasing. We don't actually recognize technology being around us. For the older generation this may seem scary, picturing technology is taking control. But for the younger generation these borders don't exist anymore, there's no distinct line between virtual and "real."
