da paparazzii
Hotel entertainment. Doesn't really mean anything other that movies to me. Ok room service, maybe that little stocked fridge of goodies, thats always nice. This week I caught the flick Paparazzi. Not bad, pretty standard really, but ya know for the longest time, I dunno I've rehashed this idea in my head, a crazy wonder invention of a paparazzi emp. Yes thats electro magnetic pulse. We are crafty inventive people, why hasn't someone come up with a way to disable cameras in a certain radius... ok cause we'd kill more than just cameras i bet. Still I cant help but wonder if something was possible. Maybe an emp type device isn't fair, its just a radius from the point of origin, how bout something more directed. Kinda like cell phone jammers, course those work on a signal sending wave whatever. I just think man you could make a buttload of cash not to mention save alot of peoples sanity by creating a kind of paparazzi emp device. Don't want yer picture taken, ok, pick the direction of annoyance, set a cone angle and wham... up to 12 feet, oops, yer camera wont take a picture.
Course it could also be used for bad guys too. Expect bad guys typically just break the law anyways. Its funny really. I'll sketch up concepts in my head of how it'd work, trying different scenarios, maybe a emp is too much, directed ray of some kind maybe, or what about a spray or mist that shoots into the air and it holds for a sec and makes camera pics come out wrong or something. Or maybe i can create a distorted aura of anti-photoness that somehow when i have it enables disrupts the images taken of me. Bodyguard can protect me physically, a cell phone jammer or jammer type of tech can kill signals travelling around me or near me, what can stop a picture from recording me.
Some of the concepts get really crazy too. I picture a jacket covered in mini mirror plates that reflects an image back to the camera man, like I'm a walking mirror, or maybe a jacket thats fight flash power with flash power, its not so much that i don't want to be photographed, i don't want the paparazzi to gain from photographing me. Why should they gain from taking shots of me in my personal space. Take all the pictures you want cause my jacket/device makes all of them washed out or blurry or hell lets water mark them.
Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex on Adult Swim is currently in the "laughing man" episodes. In the future people are part cybernetic etc, a hacker can climb into yer head and hack what you see. Instead of seeing or capturing the image of someone, the celebrity can block out their face. Almost like you can stand there and see me but they minute you record me, that picture will always draw a big white box over my face. Like your device is hacked to do that. Yer brain is hacked etc.
A wee bit of fantasy. - several hours later, forgot to finish up this entry----
