You’ve been on the metro when some troubadour has strolled through the car playing music and asked for some change. Personally I find it a nice change to cone of oblivion that usually pervades in the metro car.
Well, it seems the London underground has come up with something new. Now, if you’re a bluetooth robot, you can tune everyone out more effectively. Undersound is a program that broadcasts music on a frequency so you can pick it up on your bluetooth head set.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. Sure, it’s kind of what everyone does already with iPods. And having it be a shared experience is a neat idea. But I’m still waiting for the day when people will start looking each other in the eyes again. Call me idealistic.
