More creepy tech from Japan: behold the wall poster which responds to your kiss.
The “poster” is displayed on a screen and displays a variety of images depending on the distance from the user, which is measured using an overhead ultrasonic sensor. As the user leans in to plant one on the poster, the image changes from a default image, to one showing the moment of smooching, to a coy blush afterward.
The article mentions some immediate fears, like social diseases. Imagine, too, when such a poster becomes cruel, or abusive.
Videodrome: the great movie for our time.

This + bird flu = Armageddon
