Bad Hair(cut) Day

While having my haircut today at my usual chain of retails haircut stores, they had a screen to keep you entertained becos hairdresser now doesn't really talk to you.

It is not hard to see why though. With all ages of people flocking to these store, it is hard to find a perfect fit hairdresser-customer for the conversation topic to start. So how? Hairdressers start talking to each other (even when the hairdresser is executing a difficult cut) while the poor customer is left alone there, praying hard that the hairdresser does not cut a hole in the beloved hair

The company apparently is aware of this problem but because of the nature of human, they are not able to completely eliminate it. Therefore they brilliantly improvised the situation and place a small LCD TV in front of the customer so that customer can 'sort of' be entertained with commercials. (Brilliant, as the company gets revenue too)

Speaking of commercials, i saw this o-something massage chair with this infra sensors that you put in front of you near your abdomen for some reason.

I could help but think of the first massage chair that i have seen. The first generation message chair is just a chair with some electrical mechanism inside the leather chair. Then they added the legrest portion, and then the armrest portion, and later the music synochornisation and improved with a av synchonisation.

What's next?

Someday they would have added enough things till around you till yr massage chair becomes a spaceship wrapped around you where you could indulge in the ultimate relaxation experience. It could probably take you into another dimension right in the comfort of your own home.

Any taker?
