Automatic social network shortest-path finding: point your phone at someone and find out if you're friends-of-friends, if you went to the same school, worked at the same company once, etc.
- mmanfrin 11y agoI hate to say this, but: I think this would be very cool. See someone interesting at the bar? Scan and check to find a convenient ice breaker. "Oh! We both went to the same summer camp as kids!"
- DamnYuppie 11y agoThat is cool until every man uses it on you daughter.
- caskance 11y agoYour daughter would be fine if her paranoid luddite father hadn't forbidden her from getting her own setup.
- DamnYuppie 11y agoI am not sure I follow this comment. No one said anything about forbidding anyone from anything It was simply a statement about how upsetting it would be as a parent.
- mmanfrin 11y agoHopefully by then we'll have progressed past this patriarchal protect-the-defenseless-women mentality. Who's to say my daughter won't be the one using it on men at the bar?
- DamnYuppie 11y agoWho said anything about protecting? It is simply a statement about how men feel when other men are interested in their daughters.
