Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!
--orrow! orrow!
I'm pretty sure the future has finally, actually arrived. I mean, we've had practical electric cars for an affordable price (i.e. not just a toy for millionaires) for a while now, and we have jetpacks (even if they don't go for a really long time or anything, and hardly anyone has one). But today I just found out about a thing that is totally science fiction.
Dudes, Jesus Christ, this is a real thing. I shit you not.
Those are toy cat ears that move, indicating what emotion you're feeling via their position/movement. And how do they know what you're feeling? Well, apparently there are cheap knock-offs (the real ones are around a hundred bucks, I gather) that just base their evaluation of what you're feeling on temperature, like a mood ring; but the real ones? Read your brain waves.
Let me repeat that.
There is a device, on the market right now, that READS YOUR EMOTIONS (well, mostly if you're relaxed and not really paying attention to anything, or if something has piqued your interest, or if you're concentrating or thinking) VIA ELECTRODES THAT READ YOUR BRAIN WAVES.
I can't get over that. It reads your brain waves via clip-on electrodes. And you can buy it. For like a hundred bucks.
And they put it in a product that animates cat-girl ears. Apparently you can get them at anime conventions.
CAT-GIRL EARS. They used it to ANIMATE CAT-GIRL EARS.
My mind is blown on so very many levels. XD
