Before the days of twitter, people had to make do with technology that was a little more physical. Take Global Hypercolor as a brilliant idea. You wear clothes that change colour according to your body temperature, therefore giving a generation of kids a great excuse to grope each other in the name of science. Touch and learn kids.
The easy bit of course is that you could literally see the affect, something which technology these days seems to lack. What is the affect of twitter? Where is it how can I see it other than seeing iPhone users constant sweeping their screens with their fingers. Wouldn't it be great if you could see Twitter in action, maybe by people's messages being displayed on the back of their phone whilst they are holding it up, or even projecting it out onto a nearby wall.
Or, even more simply, a phone that changes colour as you talk, sensing your mood or listening out for particular words or intonation that tells people whether or not you are open to be interrupted or even groped around the waist, just for the sake of creating body heat.
