Impressive technology but scary. Makes me want to keep all information I don’t want flashed on my chest in hiding. Didn’t worry to much about privacy invasion until I see this. Let’s see… connect it to credit reports, internet usage (and posts at Hot Air), church attendance, firearms purchased, investments, social security, tea party attendance, etc. and flash it all up for Obama’s Security Forces to see. Hmmm. Where’s Glenn Beck when you need him?

Ironically, this is a sixth-sense killer.

Clever technology though.

…And as we move closer to letting technology control us…
we alow ourselves to be controlled by it by becoming more lazy.
In this economy how many of you know how to properly darn a sock so as not to waste money by throwing it away? how many of you know how to grow herbs in a garden or on your window sill in the city?
…And just to prove my point how many of you already feel lost when you are without your cellphone? imagine that feeling magnified a million times when you cant have your instant data come up in front of you.
Now please don’t think I’m a luddite. I LOVE technology.
However I also know how to make my own gunpowder and I know a bit of farming too. Some of which I learned from the internet, so I try to pick my battles wisely. because tech can be very useful but I am trying to learn from the past not ignore it.

Just sayin’

…PREPARE…

After watching that, I am almost moved to get a cell phone…

Who am I kidding? My need to get away from the noise is still more important.

She said “brain implants” at the end.

I would use old catalogues for toilet paper before having the brain implant.
Plus, Obama’s team would tell you that Brad Pitt had a special message for you, if you just send them your implant code, then voila, on election day we would start twitching and move robotically to the polling stations.

Which toilet paper to buy?

Anyone try, “hm.. this one is cheap and this one is expensive and this one is somewhere in between and looks like it’ll feel ok on the area I need to clean.”

Like a lot of new technology, the most practical use for this has not even been thought of yet that will make it indispensable.

Yes, but in this economy and future, very few can afford it.

It’s like people who think everyone can afford to pay the extra $7k for a hybrid to save the world.

Very cool. A long way from ready, but a very cool beginning . Read Charles Stross’ remarkable novel Halting State for a look at what the world might be like when technology like this is mature. Example: cops walking around with glasses that show annotations over reality from “Cop Space.” The cop sees, say, paroled felons walking down th street with rotating red diamonds over their head, can bring up their priors with a gesture, and so on.

1. Allah, I thought you were all set when the Japanese (?)invented that sex robot.

2. It’s strange enough when someone’s on a bluetooth headset but to other people it looks like he’s talking to himself.

3. Six senses? God gave us five. Sorry, you ain’t gonna “evolve” a new one any more than you can “evolve” gills. Be glad you’re not an amoeba and move on.

4. I take that back. Some people have a sixth sense, a.k.a., common sense. But that isn’t something you can “evolve,” either.

Seriously cool tech.

After a fashion I already do this with my cellphone (HTC Touch).

Whether it’s surfing to Amazon to check out Blu-ray movies or books or checking Hotair while on the run or finding a local chinese place for some take-out I’m pretty much half-way there.

Whether I’d go around wearing geek-wear™ like this is a different story. After all, I’m past 40. I think that makes me old. heh.

Still, thanks for the link, AP.

Never mind. The lady is Pattie Maes of MIT, and TED is “Technology, Entertainment, Design,” a conference where very aggressive geeks share ideas for the future. See http://www.ted.com. Some interesting stuff there.

Nor do I need the internet to tell me whom to vote for, nor do I need a President who thinks that voting “Present” is effective management.
Damiano on March 11, 2009 at 7:20 PM

Good thought; trust me to look at the tech side first and think about the societal issues afterwards. The question is: who is that little voice in your ear telling you what to buy, what to do, how to think? It is Pelosi? or Limbaugh?
Given the state of our educational system I can guess.
We’ll all be brainwashed union organized little drones who can’t even buy toilet paper without our choices controlled and reported.

I can’t wait for the day when the words “Beta Male” light up across my chest every time I meet an attractive woman.

I already introduce myself ‘Hi, I’m ThackerAgency, beta male’ to avoid any confusion.

Or I’ll say, ‘Hi, I repel women.’

I’ve always thought that honesty was the best policy. . . and the biggest turn off with women.

The video is cool though. We’re getting close to the hologram ‘help me obie wan, you are our only hope’. I’ve been wondering when we will have projection instead of LCD or Plasma. I thought that the brightness limitations of the projector would limit its effectiveness. Maybe I was wrong. Great find. Thanks for sharing.
