Identity Gun
Find out all about a person without even speaking to them | |
[I couldn't find a suitable category to put this in. I hope it counts.]
Somewhere along the line, I hope that everyone will soon carry their own personal computer chip, possibly as an implant upon birth. They do it to some young criminals in this country already. Anyway...
When you have a chip
like this, you can enter as much information as you like into it. Think of it as an MSN profile, where you can enter whatever you want people to see about you. You fill in all the details you want to share, then load them into your body chip.
If there's ever a time when you turn somebody's head (you sexy person, you!), they might want to know something about you. They'll pull out their little Identity Gun, aim it at you and flash. The little LED display shows them your profile.
The Gun also has a 256KB temp folder, so you can look over the profiles you have collected over the day.
AFTER COLLECTING -8, +4:
It MUST be reiterated: you CHOOSE what goes on your profile.

As long as I am in control of what info I share, +. |

You're in total control, [sambwiches] :) |

Try telling that to my car insurance provider. |

Does it come with a numbered tattoo? |

i'm way biased (given a mildly related idea of mine), but i
don't feel comfortable with people being able to pull my
information at random. i might be willing to accept having
them send me something -- that's no more invasive than
getting an email or having someone walk up to you and
talk. but definitely no info stealing. |
|
|
As long as I can program mine to say "F#@k off, you overly self-conscious loser." I'm all for it. |
|
|
All I need is a device to remember the people I know - I am abysmal with names. |
|
|
I take it everyone who objects to this idea has a blank Halfbakery profile page, no web home page, and no profile on anything like AOL or MSN. And never wears slogan t-shirts. |
|
|
yep, that's me, pottedstu |

|
While this isn't an inherently bad idea, implementing it properly could be a stone bitch. |

|
Your tag would have to be easily rendered temporarily unreadable (impossible with implants) |
