If You Just Smile

But if old Aunt Nellie, who hasn't been able to smile for seven years since her stroke, is to be in the picture, what then? Or the cranky crying children, those irrascible tongue-stick-outers, etc.? Suppose it's a photo of a serious moment and nobody is expected/supposed to be smiling, such as a family portrait at a funeral service?

Talk about a whiz-bang solution to a non-existent problem!

I can see uses for such technology, but NOT for this use. As an amateur photographer with many years practice, I think I am capable of picking the right moment for the shutter to open.

next thing you know they'll have mood sensing software on our refrigerators, handing us beer to cheer us up...

Now THAT is a technological development I can get behind! I want it...

yeah, that would be great! It should be developed with the beer tossing fridge so that if you have an argument with the spouse it pelts you with beer

tah-dah! argument resolved!
