Head Space

I felt particular concerned when listen to radio story about "Head Space" because there was a billboard emits highly focused sound that resonates within the skulls of passerby. Currently, this device is invading the right of privacy in individual's mind. The billboard is flanked by devices that look like speakers but which direct highly focused sound at unsuspected persons who trigger a sensor by walking by. The sound is sent at a fixed frequency that can only be heard by them because the transmitter uses the skull as a speaker and so the sound resonates inside the head. The first think when I listen to how this unique device work is very unbelievable and been effective enough to scare even the person.

Clive Thompson who is technology writer explained that it's part of a wave a new device design on every person mind. He continued explained that this technology is part of a new legal area, ethical area that can called "the civil right of the mind". So how really this device legal to person's right? I'm very concern that as we discussed the new modern technology like wiretapping will violate the privacy of mankind. These technological innovations are eroding sanctify of our mind because they would be functioned as read what's on our mind. In fact, we no longer private and it can literally say that our head is not safe just for our own thoughts. So, is unfair for us to forced get technologies that can put things inside our head, like this one?

We're forced to hear useless voices and we can't cover our ears by headphone or even some paper towels. The way this technology works is that it's making our body resonate and become the device for making noise. I really concerned about the fact that creators developing technology faster than we're updating our legal and ethical ways of thinking about that because up until now, we're been think that these new technologies not really hundred percent invading our private. Unfortunately, I think more powerful technology will be created and out of expected by us regarding how it affects our privacy. Does our legal tradition or our Constitutional tradition that we already discussed in class have any answer for these types of technology? I would like to know it soon while I really hope that the creators think about mankind privacy before create some modern technology devices.
