About 6 years ago now, I was watching some kind of "Tomorrows World" type kids programe that featured this new sound tech from the States!!
I have been fascinated in this ever since!
But what are the true implications of HSS??
In the past few years I have been keeping a close eye on this developing science and on the surface it seems superb!!! (a bit like an internet scam) Just think!!...sounds beamed directly at you that only you can hear so no more arguing in the car about who listens to what on the stereo!! You get to listen to your own music in your own private space and no one else can hear it unless they walk into the sound "beam"......
This short video shows you just how HSS works!



Unlike conventional loud speakers, in HSS, the sound is directed along a beam at a high frequency, as a result the sound is crystal clear and "IN YOUR HEAD" quite literally as you become the actual speaker!!...Now lets scratch that nice surface of listening to your own music, privatly...Already HSS is being used in Tokyo by Coca Cola to beam a plink plink fizz noise into the heads of unsuspecting passers by to make them buy a coke!! and the same application is being used at Disney World in Florida too...even darker!! the Military is also experimenting with HSS to engage the enemy in the field as at extream frequencies it could actually fry your brian and kill you!!! Also how about weirdo stalkers who get their hand on this? They could beam whispered messages into the heads of their victims and drive them mad!!!...I have to be honest here! the applications for this new HSS could be, at best sinister and at worst deadly!!! Do we, as the Human race, already driven to distraction with advertising, realy need to have this IN OUR HEADS!!! This is surely the worst thing thats ever been invented and science gone mad. And unless the use of HSS is tightly controled it could quite possibley drive the whole world population insane !
Suddenly George Orwells 1984 world sounds nice!!
Already hear in Northampton town centre we have loudspeaker announcements every 15 minuits warning smokers not to throw their discarded cig butts on the ground on pain of a £75 and "you will be caught on camera" threats........What about all the filthy, germ-ridden chewing gum that is spat onto our pavements by the million everyday???????????????
Food for thought methinks!!!

Ok, I am off to clean out my fantail Goldfish!!
see ya soon! x
