Ten, twenty years from now (max) we'll have these funky sunglasses that can "overlay" data, superimposing it on your regular field-of-view. You'll be able to look down a street and the glasses will display relevant information on buildings, restaurants, whatever.

Think GPS + HUD + Oakley.

I'm mentioning this because it'll be nice when price tags can be "read" via OCR and translated into life-hours in real-time. For example, if you make $10/hr, something with a price tag of $265 would instead appear to you as "26.5 life-hours." The values could adjust, of course, for spans. Life-days, life-weeks, etc.

I wonder if that would change our spending habits. To know exactly how much of our life we're trading for what we buy. It's one thing to go shopping for a car with a sticker price of $22K. It's something else to see, at a glance, that buying it would consume 1.06 years of your life.

Just a thought.

By then ciggies will cost a life hour or maybe ten if these prices keep rising that much, and also shorten your life. Maybe I won't buy them then. But it's a pretty cool idea.

While I'm on the subject of ciggies and you on new inventions. I thought up an electric ciggie, where nicotine and a smoke/fog prducing agent is vaporised by heating elements in the stub of the ciggie. You could replace the nicotine/smoke cartridge every time you smoke. Looked it up and turns out that the idead was already thought up, but it wasn't allowed because then t would be making a drug in smokeable form instead of smoking a plant. So much for the healthy ciggie  :smirk:
