Why aren’t razor blades made disolvable in water? Then you could use the blades for a few times, and when you are done, toss them in the toilet bowl where they dissolve after a few minutes. The blades could be made out of a bio-degradable material that doesn’t harm the environment.
Why don’t batteries, especially rechargable ones, change colour based on how much power they have left in them?
As society moves more towards elective, cosmetic surgery and breast implants are becoming quite prevalent I propose that we start utilising them for things other than ogling.
We could store vast amounts of data in a regular breast implant and read it out via contact-less radio frequency. The amount of storage in most implants would be mind-boggling, that babe over there with the over-inflated cleavage may just be carrying around the Library of Congress with her.
Perhaps you could embed a 4G enabled web browser in the implants with a digital e-ink tattoo on the surface of the breasts themselves for optimal viewing. A simple Bluetooth enabled keyboard and mouse would allow for easy navigation. Though the page rendering part of the browser may need to distort the final web image to account for the curvature of the breast much like an IMAX cinema needs to do, but in reverse.
Of course, if you start putting communications in them suddenly you could use breasts as a mobile mesh network or walking WiFi hotspot.
Now imagine a Beowulf cluster of these…
Interesting article I just read on advances in inflatable breast implants lead me to wonder if we could control the size of the breast implant via a web browser or SMS. Certain enterprising young women could then allow their breast size to be set for a fee. You just wouldn’t want your website breast size account getting hacked.
Expect to see this feature taken up by adult porn sites and female users of MySpace.com very soon.
Obviously if the breast size is controlled via the cellular network it becomes possible to triangulate position and orientation too.
I guess in time it will be possible to control other bodily functions through a web browser too. Speech, arousal level, breast shape, mood. I wonder if Microsoft will ever have an operating system that runs on a breast…
