Inspired by the phrase that has proved successful in the Social Media, "What's on your mind?", large mobile phone makers are discussing possibility of linking person's mind to a mobile phone so that Facebook status's can get updated automatically. Speaking at a forum here in Mars, CEO of Yeskaise, Mapen Dalop said, "This is the next big thing. It is a breakthrough technology that will help users immensely. The value proposition is unimaginable. We are elated and are positive about it. We are expecting phones to be rolled out in 3 months time. It is undergoing testing with rats and we are receiving positive signals. It is significant development for the company".
There are mixed responses for this idea from the civil society. Few feel it will kill social media by invading privacy. Few have expressed desire to have a debate in parliament to allow production of such mobile phones. Mr. Pashi Faroor, a popular politician user twitter said, this is an effort pitted against him and that his effort to bring politicians into social media will become a distant dream. There are others who feel that this is the only way corruption could be fought and justice be just in this century. Few even suggested to make usage of this phone mandatory for those in public service. However, Sakhi Drawant seemed to dislike this idea about usage for people in public service.
People close to developments feel that Dogle or Grapple would soon come up with their own versions earlier than proposed by Yeskaise due to advanced ability to prototyping of other technologies. However they fear Dumsung's ability to replicate technology better than theirs. As the competition is heating up, it must be delight for users and many people are raring to get one for their loved ones, definitely not for themselves. Few companies have opened their websites for advance orders for gifting. Yes, we are entering era of transparency.
