    We are a small organization, I mainly want to make sure my boss don't get overwhelmed by techno-blabble. I will surely attend the meetings but the final decision is not mine. Also, I worked in IT in the past, but my main job is in marketing...

    Quite the opposite, the weaker the mind, the more work it has to do to accomplish the most simple tasks.

    Sure I can, but I don't have the right to do it. As in "Can I go to the bathroom?" vs "May I go to the bathroom?". The first my be asked to your doctor after some weird accident, the second should be asked in a classroom.

    The sensor could be used to make the monitor move backward when a finger is approaching. There are valid uses... we just need to be creative.

    All I want is a monitor that retracts when someone try to put its finger on it to show me something. Extra points if it detects the level of greasiness.

    Yeah, in 1984 the cameras in our houses were government installed. Today we pay for them and carry them around. I would not be surprised if the capability to operate the microphone and camera remotely was standard issue for CIA (to use on foreigners, but still).
