Speech-Jamming Gun That Can Silence Mid-Sentence
We all have that one friend who just doesn’t know when to shut up. Doesn’t it make you want to shoot them with a gun that scrambles their thoughts, thereby preventing speech? Well, Japanese inventors have a product to offer!
Researchers have manufactured a “SpeechJammer” that allows you to silence people up to 30 meters away, without an instance of pain. Developed by Kazutaka Kurihara of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology and Koji Tsukada of Ochanomizu University, this device records the target’s speech and fires their own vernacular back at them with a delay just long enough that it affects the brain’s cognitive processes, causing speakers to stutter before finally silencing them.
Though the device works best on those who are reading aloud, it has been suggested that this could be utilized in such every-day scenarios as avoiding interruptions or chatty-Cathys in the library. Or maybe even superfluous politicians?

About

Random, as you can probably see. Well, it's more along the lines of "I like a lot of things", so my blog is extremely...sporadic. On here you will find--cute things, food, nice looking actors and actresses, funny things, anime/manga (mostly one piece), kpop singers, the occasional classical music piece, rarely some inspirational quotes, and some things that just look aesthetically pleasing (to my eyes). Oh and everything I post is not my work...unless otherwise stated.
