Personality Scanner: socializing the Eureka way

personality_scanner_w.jpg

Just slightly larger than a pen, this Personality Scanner can detect the general mood of a room when you come in, giving you both an overall reading as well as the emotional state of any individual within a 25-foot radius. A scan takes less than 10 seconds, so you'll quickly have a heads-up on who's in the mood to talk and who will likely bite your head off. Sure to revolutionize how people interact socially, the scanner… hold on a sec, this can't be real. Oh, wait, this isn't an actual product; it's a far-out concept gadget from Made in Eureka, the promotional site for Eureka, a show premiering tomorrow night on — well, how about that, it's SCI FI! Gee, that's awkward… well, it would be cool if the Personality Scanner existed. If it was here right now it would be telling you how guilty we feel about using our trusty blog to promote a website about fake products that's promoting a show about a fake town. But we won't lose too much sleep, since we admire the pro-tech premise of the show, and those fake gadgets are pretty cool (we so want a TemporalVision Monitor). Now back to your regularly scheduled sarcastic posts about "real" products.
