The SOLA - Static Obesity Logging device
|
A quick project seen last month at the RCA Summer show. This one is by Design Products (platform 11) graduate and engineer Benjamin Males: The Static Obesity Logging device, part of Target set of projects, can be installed almost anywhere. The casing of the innocent-looking device conceals a computer, digital and analogue inputs and outputs and a camera. The system is able to remotely calculate Body Mass Index and communicate the data via wired and wireless networks.
The purpose of the device is to raise a series of slightly disturbing questions. Surveillance technologies are becoming increasingly important and invasive in our daily life (especially in the UK). How far can it go? Could we envision that one day surveillance technology will have a role in healthcare? Could it provide some help in the fight against obesity? What would then be the potential uses (misuses?) of this data by others? How much would this affect our civil liberties? Do we really have a voice to protest the Big Brother society? |

Nope we let everyone walk all over us, nobody speaks up
I think that poeple on the edge. who are tech savey will be able to move through the world, with more freedom.technology that gives them, Invisablity.
Eg crimes that don't get rec, don't happen. in this new world.
see what i mean.
Last time we downloaded some wap ringtones from the get ringtones company and was definitely happy.
You think that the poly ringtones are accessible in the ringtones providers and it’s truth.
You should be definitely a great professional like the workers in the phones ringtones or nextel ringtones providers, to accomplish your smashing stuff. Not every common man could do it.
Every single day I try to find the knowledge like yours, therefore always I receive the composer ringtones and very oft the ringtones. Thence now I ultimately got what I demanded.
