    Introducing, one of the newest technologies from Japan... a device capable of:

    - Phoning someone by simply saying the numbers out loud
    - Ending and accepting calls by tapping your forefinger and thumb together
    - Listen to the phone call by sticking your finger in your ear.

    ... New wireless phone... the (dubbed) "Finger Whisper"

    Pretty nuts. Speaking of cellphones, don't you ever stop to realize that it's a common sight to see someone all alone, but carrying on a conversation? Before cells got popular, you hardly ever saw that. Now, it's not unusual to hear every other guy in the other toilet stalls (in a public restroom) talking outloud. And with cells getting so small that now you don't even see the phone (like with the Finger Whisper) it's getting harder to figure out if a person is talking and laughing into a cellphone or is just mentally retarded!

    Well, yeah those voice-activated phones are old news... my mobile phone can do that. But I also heard that in th future they'll invent a phone which is brain-wave linked... that is, you can call just by saying it in your head. I really don't know how it is going to work but this idea of signals travelling through bones is a new step into the future of technology.

    YEah, supposedly it will be mind controlled, which I think is a bit stupid. Like IT, you know, that little thing where you stand on it and think "forward" and it goes forward.
