    Here's a woman who "invented" a little device that can get information at any place and any time,

    philosophers are afraid that this will soon turn the human rase into cyborgs.


    what say you folks, treath to the human race or new little-wanna-have-thingy.

    Go with it. Resistance is futile.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    That's incredible! Frightening though how someone could just walk up to you and know so much information immediately.

    Device can't see dead people.

    Usless in my opinion.

    Biggest breakthrough has got to be the ability to be able to draw dicks on randomers faces from across the room :pac:

    The information is only available if you have already made it available by creating a blog, bebo or facebook. You are telling that person what you are telling millions of people around the world.

    The idea is amazing, would change our lives as we know it. There are privacy issues though that would need to be looked at, laws to be adhered to etc etc. Genius idea all the same :) I want one...

    Best comment on the video.
    I just want to know why MIT's budget can't pay for the rest of her pants. I mean, that is silly.
