again the hi-tech future is of japan's.

each time i take time off of studying japanese, i come back slower and whiter than before. frustrated, this is an inevitable part of studying foreign languages. however, this frustration is a thing of the past! soon all i will need is put on these fashionable glasses (above). y VOILA! ENTIENDO!!

"the tele scouter glasses feature a compact microphone and camera, which picks up the foreign-language conversation. this audio recording is then relayed to a small computer worn on the user's waist, which transmits the information to a remote server. the server translates the words from speech to text, and transmits it back to the glasses, where the translated phrase then appears on a tiny retinal display, providing the wearer with a transcript of the conversation in their own language."

in other words, your don juan's sweet nothings can be translated to your eye in real time, via a small screen set by your eyeball. is the world really ready for this digital display? cause it is soon ready for the world. oh sheila!!
