To: [email protected] Date: Friday, September 11, 2009, 10:00 AM Hi Claire, Pln, Chaya, Headmaster, Jason C and all Claire, your point of view is very futuristic. I haven't ever imagined people living in green areas where everything was transparent and people without privacy. Is that comes from your mind or you read that in any scientific magazine? I liked that but I wouldn't like to lose my privacy even though it seems to be interesting and at the same time funny. About the chips in our brains, I believe we are very close to it. In fact I remember I saw an article, I don't remember where, that said that we are almost prepared to be inserted chips under our skin to replace the ID cards we carry with us. With that, we wouldn't need to carry any documents and better, don't worry about losing them. Nice to know that you enjoyed the pictures. I love taking pictures although I've never taken a course to learn the techniques of photography. My dog's name is Nalla, you're right!! :) A very smart dog! Great day!!

Some fashion designer from Argentina already designed clothes attched with devices such as watch,mobile phone,MP3 and etc. The next step naturally is to insert some chip in our brain,don't you think? People in the future might be living in a giant green house where everything is transparent and everyone is visible without any privacy. For someone like me,it's pretty scary... Correct me if I'm wrong since I don't know much about this field. According to my imprssion,what scientists intend to do is to make us and everything about us all perfect. In that case,there'll be more or less discrimination against others if how they look or what they think is different from us? OK.Maybe I worry too much!LOL Another typical feature of woman!;)LOL By the way,Oshiro,great pictures you have on your photo bank in your profile!!! I saw your girlfriend and Nalla(?)(the dog you mentioned before in one message)!;) Great weekend,everyone!
