and the emerging use of ultra/hypersonic sound waves in TVs and mobile
devices ! bad

from EMIL `S recent post - Also just google the LED WIFI ALTERNATIVE on
Scientific American, new Scientist or similar, bassically they can modulate the
LEDS to flicker on and off so fast that the human eye/brain will not notice
(there is always an exception as we know) so they can generate binary signals
0s&1s thingy, so wherever you are under the lights you will be able to hook up
to the net and similar.


PUK





Here's another one from the "World Has Gone Mad" department:

"Our sense of smell has a strong hold on our emotions, so it is unsurprising
that the movie industry has long sought to make it part of the silver screen
experience.
<snip>
Japanese firm Sony may have the answer. A recent patent application
described the idea of using ultrasound signals to directly stimulate selective parts
of the brain to induce scents in a viewer or game player's mind.
Unfortunately, to date, there has been no whiff of Sony producing the hardware required. "

Totally with you on that one R - enough already!! In my house I have a TV [not plugged in and never watched - but my government still makes me pay a tv licence for it - another story] a computer [I can only use about once a week] and a landline phone.
 
the other day I went to my sister's house. She has 4 TVs - one of which is a huge 40 inch screen - all on or on standby all the time day and night - Nintendo Wii, 2 DVD players plus all the wiring and speakers, an Iphone [only the latest gadget will do] and 2 laptop computers which are on all day and never unplugged. The house positively thrums! And is it all necessary? Couldn't they live just as well without it? It is as if if it isn't an electrical/technological experience it isn't worth having. So sad.
 
Best wishes
