The next killer app?

Written in Thrissur under the influence of severe jet lag, Kerala masala chicken, a round of Mindflex in Sunnyvale and an overdose of TED videos.

Name: MISCRE

Executive summary: As you sit and daydream, or just think, this wi-fi nanoimplant will read the signals in your image forming cortex, access all your image databases (cellphone, Laptop, Picasa, etc), retrieve the most relevant images and play a slide/video-show for you, SCREened in your MInd's eye (aka visual cortex). Animation, seguing, cartoonization and other image-processing effects will be available as add-on apps priced separately. The killer amongst the killers will be an app that will allow you, via a Pranav Mistry (SixthSense)-type headband, to "project your innermost images" on a wall near you. The catch is that, like Mindflex, you will have to learn how to turn this app on and exercise parental "control" on what it shows!

Technology: It's all here already, but if you want a new flashy name, you could call it neuroimag(in)ing.

Caveat: With all this global body search imaging technology around, you will have to watch out for MISCREants.

Dateline: Thrissur, 5:30 a.m., 4th January, 2010.
