After Photography

NEC is coming out with eyeglasses (no lenses) so that salespeople can have the buying history of potential clients beamed onto their retinas as they converse. These should be ready in Japan by next year. However, even more extraordinary is the news that the following year software should be available that allows simultaneous translation of one’s conversation to be played in the listener’s ear. The translation will also appear as running subtitles as one looks at the person talking. Who needs to go to the cinema anymore?
