From the Wall Street Journal:
"The power to scan our environment at a molecular level, with devices no bigger than our smartphones, is coming. In some cases, it is already here, thanks to a handful of startups."
That hotdog looks suspicious, let me test it with my phone . . .
Ah ha! As I suspected -- it's all rat dung and ground bone!
I wonder if this cheese is ripe -- I'll scan it carefully . . .
Good grief, the salmonella grows exponentially!
I'll take my little smartphone on a blind date to discover
if she is transgender or has had a previous lover.
Then I'll take it off to work to scan my supervisor,
to see if he is still a martinet and grasping miser.
Oh, I can take my blood pressure and temperature as well;
it forecasts weather and gives count of ev'ry shot nerve cell.
Like the Man with X-ray Eyes, I've been to the abyss --
and discovered that my Cartier ain't really Swiss . . .
