So there's this article entitled "Design Firm Shows Gadgets from the Near Future" which is funny because "near future" inspires jokes along the lines of, "near like, now?" and "how about now?" and "OK, now?" on and on and until everyone is smiling really hard. The innovations start out being completely useless like a radio without knobs but then become radder like a "through-the-wall-radar" which is cool because Batman uses it to look in buildings to find baddies and then we are introduced to "a user interface that takes brain waves and translates them into commands for a computer." Um. NO THANK YOU.
