Example: annotated reality

n. Extra information—such as images or sounds—supplied to a person from a wearable computer.

Example Citation:
"The devices include everything from Schwartz's fishnet vest adorned with connected components, to laptops-in-fanny-packs, to thick glasses that reflect a video display in one lens. The glasses provide a dominant vision of the real world that is overlaid by information from an electronic world. Such information overlays are called annotated reality, a subcategory of wearable computing distantly related to virtual reality."

—Chris Oakes, "Waiting for Wearable Wearables," Wired News, October 19, 1999

Technocracy Rhetoric


My unconstrained mirth for the literature ( . . . and recent! . . . ) of Technocracy knows yet no limits.

It is as if to see the rhetorical excesses of Socialism--for one, but any of the large-scale, utopian schemes descended from the Enlightenment--in the funny mirror.

If eccentric, declamatory pamphlets positing to solve by superior reason the globe's most knotty, thorny, intractable problems are your thing, the official site has numerous, hilarious freebies.
