Feeling Blue? Kinect May Have an Offer You Can't Refuse
I often notice while I am on Facebook that the ads on the pages refer to things that I am interested in or have recently posted about. You may have noticed this as well. However, did you know that Microsoft is trying to patent an emotional detector in the Kinect that will provide you with advertisements based on your feelings and emotions. So we are now going to have a game system that is going to be able to tell us some things about how we are feeling that we may not even be aware of. Is this necessary? Of course money is involved with the new emotional dectetor, but is this going too far?
I know being on Facebook that the advertisements are related to what I am talking about with friends on Facebook, the pictures I post, and the status changes that I make. However, do I want some machine telling me that I am depressed and that I don't need to overeat while depressed because that will only make it worse? How far is too far?
Haha, that is crazy! I agree, I am already annoyed by the ads of what I have recently searched. An emotional detector?! Definitely taking it too far!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is definitely a strange concept!! I agree that this is taking it too far; I really don't want Microsoft to tell me how I am feeling based off of what I search for or what I type!! Geez!! Outrageous!
