Nod

About the blog

   I've become somewhat jaded about cell phones but am giving them one last nod.  The cellphone has become the most advanced information gathering and interrogation tool ever conceived.  Where were we while this was happening?  Probably using one to play online Slots.

   Cell phone CPUs are fast enough, have speakers precise enough, software antennas configurable enough, and accelerometers accurate enough to do all this (and more):

• Generate an RF field that can irritate, confuse, and distract to impair cognitive function (make us temporarily dumb).
• Emit ultrasound with a dozen creative uses that includes broadcasting subliminal messages and simulating schizophrenia.
• Emit infrasound with a dozen more creative uses that include identifying nearby objects and simulating schizophrenia.
• Track movements across large spaces and small ones, identify nearby objects and equipment, record your heart rate (like a pocket polygraph lie detector).

   Did I forget to mention they do things with normal Voices too?

   So if you're driving your car, using a computer at work, or watching TV at home and you hear the words:

       'You don't have to say anything.  Just nod your head.'

   There's no reason not to panic.

   But you won't remember anything afterwards... no matter how you react.
