I came up with this random thought after reading the article above. A simply wild imagination :p

In the future, we will no longer be able to hide our emotions to other people. When google-glasses-like tools become very common (like ‘android’ at these days) and you can find an application named “emotion readers” (based on this finding) in AppStore/ PlayStore. Ah, the other fact says that this application is free, so everyone can have it on their google-glasses-like tools. As the “emotion reader” comes to be more popular, there will be so many institutions that provide a short course named “Self-Emulator: Self Emotion Regulator”. They will teach you how to manipulate your emotions, so the “emotion reader” won’t be able to read what emotion that you actually feel. 

Can you imagine if this is happened? How different our lives could be? What aspects/sectors will live or die?
