Chat Availability Indicator In Real Life

Social Media, Tech, FuturisticTom WalmaComment

Idea: A social-media-style indicator light to indicate whether you're willing to chat (or flirt or otherwise interact) with nearby people in real life. It would either be displayed in the other person's augmented-reality glasses or on your earring. It could either display the same value (such as "green: available to chat" or "red: not available to chat") to everyone, or display different values to different people to indicate which people you want to talk to. Also: the risk of it making people even more antisocial; either using it as feedback to help train people to read body language or using it as a crutch to never bother to understand body language; everybody immediately pulling out their phones to set a green light every time an attractive woman walks into a room
