Hypothetical blogger question?

    I had planned on asking this question in an interview but the guy hasn’t gotten back to me so I will post it here.

    A blogger from the future comes back in time to plant seeds that would push a political agenda before it’s conceived. Based on an algorithm he determines that you and one other note worthy blogger are both solid matches for his project. After selling the idea to both of you he reveals two futuristic blogging devices.

    The first is a keyboard replacement device that allows you to type at the speed of thought. It has built in style and grammar macros that allow you to effortlessly type at 400 wpm.

    The second is a feed reader device that connects directly to your brain. This allows you to remotely absorb new feeds while going about your daily business.

    After narrowly winning an epic game of paper rock scissors you are given first choice. Which device do you take and why?

    I would take the second device. My favourite phrase is "uselessknowledge.com" because I love information.

    For example, did you know they're developing a combo human-brain/computer device that will enable you to recognise faces/people/items at 10 times your normal speed? Check out "http://www.wired.com/news/technology/medtech/0,71364-0.html"

    Anyway, the more info I could get the better. It would almost be like listening to my audio books while doing other work so as not to waste time.

    That's very interesting. I wonder if this could be used to increase drivers reaction times to prevent collisions or simply help people read faster.
