Dream… or nightmare?

These science and techie guys have way too much time on their hands. Their imagination gets all feverish, and before you know it, some ordinary citizen who never figured out when two trains would cross one another, (or cared), gets it in the neck.

“So, that’s what he is dreaming about... He’s in for a sound thrashing tomorrow morning!”

Look what they’ve done now – come up with techno¬logy that can display your thoughts and dreams on a computer screen.

!!!

Exactly.

Like we don’t have enough hassles.

Choosing the Beautiful Lie over the Unpleasant Truth – basic human armour against the twisted humour of a mischievous Fate – is being threatened by a gizmo.

Now, how does this work?

If it’s voluntary – then, fine…you choose to plug in; you deserve what you get.

But if this is some sensory thing that ‘picks’ up after you – there’s trouble ahead.

Picture this – a happy bride and bridegroom.

Someone makes the mistake of, say, opening a laptop a little too close to them.

(Just imagine it, can’t you? Jeez – everyone’s a critic these days.)

A picture appears.

And a small voice belonging to someone old enough for Hollywood, but too young for discretion goes: “But, Ma, that new Uncle doesn’t look anything like Hugh Jackman.”

Red faces all around.

Seriously – give these science types some good pot-boilers to read….or take them to a Bollywood musical extravaganza.

That’ll distract them.
