Information Rings Eliminate Small Talk

By technologyexpert

As I wrote just a few days ago, people have become so enamored with texting and IM-ing that they feel conversations held within those domains are more honest and open than talking. Here’s technology that eliminates even the “Hello, I’m blah, blah” introduction. Rings that exchange information with a handshake.

Designed by Hideaki Matsui, these Information Rings might not save us from human contact, but they’ll at least make interactions much shorter and less necessary. Each of the rings stores the wearer’s personal information, so when a handshake

All I’ll say is soon shy geeks will inherit the world as no one will interact personally. The only change I might make is eliminate the handshake. Currently you have to touch the person.
