Subliminal Memory Glasses
One 1/180 of a second is not a long time. Blink, and there you have it. This is what the article "Memories in the Corner of My Eye" is about as it explains how a PDA can be used to view messages during such a short time span and leaving them in your memory as subliminal messages. Beam me up, Scotty!
"Trying to remember a full day's schedule is no mean feat -- especially when it's full of business meetings, grocery shopping, kids' soccer practice and music lessons, and sundry other errands. Help may be on the way from a pair of specs dubbed the memory glasses. The specs have a tiny television screen embedded into one of the lenses and are hooked up to a PDA. The PDA can be programmed to send messages or images to the screen. Each prompt is geared to jog the wearer's memory -- whether it is an image of a soccer ball, the day's calendar or the name of the guy who just said hello. And all of these messages are flashed before the eye at 1/180 of a second, so the wearer isn't even conscious that they have been sent."

GEEK ALERT! GEEK ALERT!!! :roll:
I can't imagine walking around with glass with a tiny television screen in them.
Why not an audible reminder instead of visual?

i thought they discounted the subliminal messaging studies that originally had people all abuzz a few decades ago as utter frauds. or at least that's what we learned in Psych 101...
hell, my alarm buzzes loudly and still can't wake me up or remember where to be when; how would subliminal images do anything at all for me?

:lol:
I wouldn't wear them. I'd be scared about bluejacking, advertising and malicious companies.
If humans have been able to read for milleniums, why can't we read now? :wink:

Hey, don't knock the glasses. They sound like <hot sex> they could be useful for people <orgy at my place> who have too much <hot sex> to do.

Hey, Phil, I don't know why I want to know this, but where do you live?

"so fast you don't see it"
That sounds like those bug zappers that emit sounds you can't hear. I'll sell you a pocketpc so small you can't see it. I mean really, maybe it works and maybe nothing is happening except that you have to make to-do lists every morning to remind yourself all day, and then you remember making the list everytime you wonder why I am wearing these darn glass with a cord running down my back.

I've got a couple of those and they do seem to work. However they work on me, too. They're so annoying that I stay away from them and hang out with the bugs.
