Scientists at Bristol University are messing around with wearable cameras that you wear on your shoulder, like a pirate and his parrot. They're hoping they can get the camera to track your gaze or your hands in order to "identify a wearer's activity and offer assistance."

I love how people think up some seriously stupid uses for technology, like how every article about hi-tech refrigerators boasts their product can "track when your milk will expire, and automatically wire the grocery store!" Because that's really what we as a society need.

This shoulder-mounted camera has similarly lofty ambitions--it will be able to tell if you are cooking or eating, to "warn a computer to reroute phone calls to avoid interruptions." Or you could do this other crazy thing and (gasp) turn your phone off.
