If
you've ever stayed at Gatwick's futuristic Yotel,
you'll know what I mean. Go to check-in and you'll
find that on-screen prompts replace those traditional
forms of interaction like - oh I don't know, talking
to other human beings!
Then there's the members bars who've landed on the
idea of using swipe cards to enforce their elitism.
So if you want to get into The
Suite at Number One Leicester Square, you have
to negotiate some sort of proximity device instead
of the traditional big bloke with a clipboard. RIP,
the 'I'm on the member's bar guest list blag',
we'll miss you!
There is one human-eliminating technology we're kind
of happy to see though.
