Claytronics - Future of porn (for worried people)
 

Good Afternoon,

Happy new year. I was reading this article on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics

On future applications it said:

As the capabilities of computing continue to develop and robotic modules shrink, claytronics will become useful in many applications. The featured application of claytronics is a new mode of communication. Claytronics will offer a more realistic sense to communication over long distance called pario. Similar to how audio and video provide aural and visual stimulation, pario provides an aural, visual and physical sensation. A user will be able to hear, see and touch the one communicating with them in a realistic manner. Pario could be used effectively in many professional disciplines from engineering design, education and healthcare to entertainment and leisure activities such as video games

I found this while I was reading:

Best regards,

I wouldn't be putting my dick anywhere near something which can form arbitrary shapes.

This technology is crazy and I just can't see how it could possibly work.
I mean they are basically saying that you could be using your laptop and you could turn it into a phone.

Or you could create a person that moves and talks as though they are in the room with you but they are not.

Weird
Weird
Weird

Be cool if it happened though.

hell, they could create armies.

Interesting :thumbsup

Not the most earth shattering name for something that could possibly change the world. Sounds like something that might be next to Lego blocks at Toys R Us.
