Fill those awkward I'm-just-not-terribly-interesting pauses in conversation with these things.
Now you're interesting.
- A breathing dress .. fascinating and spooky. Imagine the sorts of sensors you might add to it. Pulse, proximity, noise, EEG ..
- And another robotic dress, with freaky insect-like epaulettes. If we're willing to attach smart-phones, pedometers, prosthetic limbs, corrective lenses .. why not an autonomous exoskeleton?
- Rogaine for the Inner Ear? Research suggests that altered gene expression can restore hearing loss (some), by regrowing hairs in the inner ear. Crank it up to eleven.
- It occurred to me on a recent flight, that with everyone on e-readers, your neighbors can't see the cover of your book. A paper book broadcasts its title to others folks -- perhaps inviting conversation, but certainly indicating your interests -- while the e-reader just shows its own branding. Should we make digital dust jackets, so friends can see the smarty-pants books we're e-reading?
Now you're interesting.
