TECH TALK: MINDREADING -- THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT

In this digital age new apps are released every day and most of them are useless or useful only to a target market but there are some apps that are useful to everyone no matter their age, race, gender, ethnicity or geographic location.

One such app is nearing release. It's called ThoughtSpy -- the mindreading app.

Not possible! you're probably thinking but the truth is that this technology has been in development for years. It works this way: thoughts are electrical impulses in the brain, so once installed, you point your phone at the subject and this app reads those impulses and displays them as text on the screen of your smart phone. The result: you can read onscreen what that person is thinking.

The personal and commercial possibilities are endless. Think about all the uncertainty you could resolve. Wonder what a girl or guy really thinks about you; now you can know before you ask them out. Rejection can be a thing of the past. Sales professionals could determine which clients are most likely to close a sale. Liars and cheats are busted before they can even finish lying to you or trying to cheat you. We can finally know what people are really thinking and what their intentions really are.

This is not necessarily a good thing especially in the wrong hands and Punchkinsoft, the maker of the app, acknowledge the potential for chaos this app could bring but dismissed these concerns with their reply, "Do you know how much money we're gonna make?"

Well, then that's all that matters.
