Shutupper

England - people queue up for the bus, India - people throng onto the bus. Conversational protocols are also different in different places.

This invention would be an auditory feedback mechanism (similar to the one that sometimes is used to reduce stuttering), and queuing system that regulates realtime conversation by amplifying, delaying and playing back selectively, interruptive and protocol-violating vocalizations. This would allow for adaptive teaching of good conversational habits. So for instance it could be programmed to amplify and delay and play back selectively "ums", phrases like "so..." (in response to a yes or no question), and responses in political conversation that start with the word, "look,...". Imagine: "loo--" "LOOKLOOKLOOOOOOOK" "ahhhh, ok ok i promise to never say that again. " " oh my god i feel so great that i will not have to try to bite my lip, listen to the rest of your rediculous opinion and try to formulate my response all at the same time that i am willing to concede the point to you and pay you for a copy of that software."
