My son uses Linux happily and codes in whatwever language he needs. The 80s you HAD to program to do ANYTHING decent with a computer, or payout HEAPS to get software. Nowdays people dont have the need so much because you can get programs that do it all for you.
My son is 11, he knows the basics of perl/php/html/etc
But often they do fit inside your ear (the toys), andhow much can it cost to get one FDA test for millions of ear pieces? even at most they cant cost more than $100 each! some person is making a major killing at others misfortune.
What i would object to would be the cost. How expensive is it really to put together something that basicly amplifies the sound you have from your jawbone or mimics you even? Heck they can do it on computers which costs a whole lot less than $3000, not to mention that a laptop does a heck of a lot more (play doom in class!)
My son has a whisper ear piece which was given to us free which pretty much does the exact same thing. It makes things louder that you put it near, (ie your mouth)
So who is getting all this money? some company who pulled a microsoft? (took somebody elses invention and called it their own)
I'm glad I live in NZ and hospitals are free, and docters are subsidised pretty much.
Surely there must be something online somewhere that has the info you need? Ive had trouble myself with various things that are either undocumented or long out of date, and invariably they are somewhere on the net, just a little hard to find.
Well you have about 7 years to lay about on govt money. get a few girls pregnant (or yourself should you be female).
Come 2010 then you can go out and take your pick of Job and be able to live in a million doller mansion (preferably with a seperate wing and nanny for the kids)
They may have a point. But computer users are becomming smarter and smarter. Back in the day people charged out heaps just to plug a computer in or reinstall it. Nowdays everyones a computer technition and can do it themselves.
Surely they will just invent some AI version of software with a nice point anc click interface (more so than there is now) that creates all the software you need!
You know that its going to find itself into parties where young kids will take this and add it to an already potent cocktail of whatever else they may have taken.

No doubt they will do what they did with most other things.
Employ a bunch of children to program things in some sweat shop for 2 cents a day.

If i recall correctly they told everyone not to do it.
A couple of people went nuts and had strokes or something because of the speeding up of the system. (mind you they had had a few IIRC)
Wouldnt that be harmful?
