Things have kept changing at such a fast pace in the world, it would almost be hard to say what has been the most defining event of 2098. Almost. Latch, the pinnacle App of developer Ruth Aberley, has been available since the spring and it shows no signs of letting up. Daily downloads world-wide reach five digits. It reminds you of that site your uncle used to tell you about, Facebook. He showed you images of the main page it used at the beginning and the user number counter had struck you as silly. Thinking of the millions of people in the world today, you consider the impact of tens of thousands of people getting Latch and setting up a profile that links all aspects of their life into an interactive experience. A little white-typeface counter doesn't seem so silly anymore.

"Good morning," says your home monitor as it begins to play a mix of string instruments and urban sounds. Your mobile alert for Tech Sav woke you up with news of Latch, but before you get in the mood to read you feel a little hungry.
