They say you can learn a lot about a person from their handshake. I never have, but we can fix this with technology and lots of money.
Picture a box just big enough to slip your hand in. Its full of various sensors and a computer with a display.
Next time you meet someone somewhere, say, at a
bar you just ask them for an electronic handshake. They slip their hand into the box and the box tells everyone about the person by using its sensors and e-nose tech.
So you might get something like "Male. Has recently fired a firearm. Has good hygeine. Masturbates daily. Recently removed his wedding ring. Has 2% fecal matter in his fingernails. Scratched himself recently very vigorously. Has a pet cat. Uses Dove soap." etc.
Could revolutionize the bar scene, business, socializing, or just be good but scary 1984-esque fun.

What if each person had his own electronic device, and the devices exchanged the personal information that was programmed into them by their owners? |

How is any one of those pieces of information useful knowledge in dating? |

Could also serve as a doorkey in combination with the physical key. |

there was an idea of linking 2 personal wearable computers, sending information as the small amount of electricity that can pass through skin. A handshake could exchange business cards or something similar. Bandwidth probably pales in comparison with USB so you cant exchange mp3 files. |

but that makes it too easy for identity thieves to steal info in crowded places. maybe some sort of on off switch for this. |

reminds me of the bible story where a sick old lady touches Jesus' cothes and he felt the power leave him |
