Usually, Future Tech is our reserved space to tell you how the distant future is suddenly right at your doorstep. But it never hurts to let you know that some future tech doesn’t always go as planned. Or at the very least, it needs proper testing before used by the masses.

Now everyone may or may not know just how many selfies you take in a given minute.
