QUOTED
“The system can disturb remote people’s speech without any physical comfort.”
— The inventors of the SpeechJammer, a prototype handheld device that can be aimed like a gun at those who are talking too much or too loudly. According to the Telegraph, the device “takes advantage of psychologists’ discovery that it is virtually impossible to speak when your own words are being played back to you with a delay of a fraction of a second.” The Japanese researcher and professor who created the device say it could be used in libraries and in meetings. No word on whether they’ve heard about this on Capitol Hill. GMSV readers, won’t you tell us in the comments where else you think the SpeechJammer (video, hilarious) would come in handy?
