Amazing technology

[Sara S]

The Cicret Bracelet

Amazing – More technology – it’s mind-boggling.
-- (But not for sale yet!)

Forget everything you think technology can do. This goes way beyond all that!!

With all due respect, Sara S., but...

Oh, for Pete's sake!

Call me a Luddite, but this is just another in a long line of electronic leashes to keep people from having direct contact with each other or living in the "real" world. One more example of how our technology has outstripped our consciousness.

We still haven't even sorted out what effect all those emf's have on our bodies/brains....

So don't use them..........I also read somewhere that when you look at a bunch of people, all with their faces to their screens, most of them are, in fact, communicating with someone. Before the advent of these communication devices, most would have been reading or staring into space.

Lol.

"reading or staring into space"...Or walking down the street, taking in the sights, or talking to a person next to them in line.

Right.

When you're breathlessly telling your forearm what you just ordered at Starbucks, Sara, try to remember there's an entire world going on around you.

Direct contact doesn't necessarily mean loveliness and as to the real world you can have it, but I must say that Google god has been much more helpful to me than any of the others.

Actually, I'm more Luddite than not simply because I'm not ready or very able to learn new tech stuff at my age; I have an emergency cell phone that I barely know how to use.

And I'm sorry I wasn't more clear about my reference; the writer was spefically taking about people on Bart (or something like it).

I know Sara, and she is anything but unaware of the life going on around her. I think she was simply sharing the fact there was a new technology. I didn't feel she was advocating the use of anything.

I know this is an old thread, but:

"too good to be true" comes to mind, except that the 'good' part is debatable.
