Title: Home Invasion... tell me what I should do?
Post by: Felonious Monk/Fignozzle on September 01, 2006, 01:31:20 PM
Smart appliances...

Synchronicity...

Bathroom scales that check my BMR...

Cameras in pill form you can swallow...

Google...

Google Watch... http://www.google-watch.org/ ...

Google Watch WATCH... http://www.google-watch-watch.org/

Big Brother...Fahrenheit 451... 1984...


Who's watching the WATCHERS?

I'm feeling amazingly...well, INVADED, by technology.

Can I still use cash?  Is it tracked digitally by serial number?

Was Ted Kaczinsky right about the insidious pandemic of technology?

Has it gone too far?   Should I listen to Art Bell more often?
Have I had too much to drink? Tongue

Regards,
Fig

Has it gone too far?  Perhaps.  But consider the alternatives.  The Amish lifestyle?  Sorry, I like cars, rock music, and my laptop too much for that.  Tin foil hats chafe my scalp.  The most radical thing I do is own and shoot a few guns, and they already know that, thanks to NICS and such.  

The way I figure it, I lead far too boring a lifestyle for anyone in the government to give two damns about me.  if they do watch, I hope they enjoy tracking me to the pet store toorrow ith my sons so we can pick up some new fish for teh tank, and then a trip to the store to get my oldest (the growth facory) some new pants that are long enough, followed by a stop for Graeter's ice cream.  Take that, surveillance man!

"Matsushita engineers here unveiled a toilet seat equipped
with electrodes that send a mild electric charge through
the user's buttocks, yielding a digital measurement of
body-fat ratio."

"Inax,counterattacked in April with a toilet that glows in the
dark and whirs up its lid after an infrared sensor detects
a human being. When in use, the toilet plays any of six
soundtracks, including chirping birds, rushing water,
tinkling wind chimes, or the strumming of a traditional
Japanese harp."

"a $3,000 throne
that not only greets a user by flipping its lid, but also
by blasting its twin air nozzles - air-conditioning in the
summer, heat in the winter. Patting this Cadillac of
toilets, Hiroyuki Matsui, chief engineer here, said, "You
can bring a bathroom temperature down by 7 degrees Celsius
in 30 seconds."

"For owners who might not be so regular, this toilet allows
users to set the temperature and pressure of a water jet
spray used to wash and massage the buttocks, an enormously
popular feature in Japan."

""You may think a toilet is just a toilet, but we would like
to make a toilet a home health measuring center," Mr.
Matsui, the Matsushita engineer, said in a lecture here in
Nara, near Osaka. "We are going to install in a toilet
devices to measure weight, fat, blood pressure, heart beat,
urine sugar, albumin and blood in urine."

Sheesh, I have a hard enough time just getting my regular toilet to flush all the way. Wink

And I don't want any machine massaging my butt.

I think the Japanese really get into the 'cadillac' toilet. On a recent trip even the hotels had toilets that were heated and water jet, it seems pretty standard fare for them. Weird to me, but whatever floats thier boat.
