As someone who watches technology trends closely as part of my business, I have been thinking about the future impact of all the technology innovations and automation we are currently experiencing and on the cusp of achieving. Many of the headlines I read about these trends — and even some I write — predict some pretty negative consequences right along with the monumental achievements and improvements.

Motorola stepped out today to announce that their 5.5-inch Moto G4 and G4 Plus Android smartphones will start shipping in the US on July 12th. Perhaps the most notable aspect of these phones is their price, which starts at $199.99 for the Moto G4 and $249.99 for the Moto G4 Plus. And both devices are universally unlocked on both GSM and CDMA networks, not tied to a specific carrier. At these price points, you’re typically looking at some sort of long term commitment with a carrier to subsidize the device but these new Moto handsets with big displays manage to pull it off contract-free.

Others suddenly find their contracts suddenly cut and get sent back to the Philippines.
