Technology has been advancing ever since man created fire. From mobile phones the size of little dogs to the size of a pencil sharpener. But nobody is better at creating new and unusual technology than the Japanese.
According to sources, the Japanese Railway company Keihin, has purchased a new piece of technology called a Smile Scanner! Basically it is able to teach employees to smile in the proper way.
According to reports, every morning the employees must go over to this smile scanner and smile as much as possible into a monitor. The amazing (yet somewhat scary machine) then tells you what is wrong with your smile. It works by scanning your face and analysing things like; lip curvature, eye movement and all your facial wrinkles. At the end of the analysis the machine then give you a rating out of 100, zero being the worst and 100 being a crazy smile (apparently the best).
It can even provide some advice. If it believes your smile to be unacceptable, it will tell you to improve the corner of your mouth by lifting it up. This machine will also print out a picture for you and print the best possible smile it thinks you can produce on it. So that if you start to feel gloomy throughout the day it will uplift your spirits.
At some point in the future, airlines have spoken about how they will start to build this into planes, for flight attendants. So on your next Caribbean holidays or Canada holidays and you find one of these crazed smiles staring at you. At least you will know it’s not because they are deranged.
If anything the use of this machine will bring a smile to the employees face, surely it must be quite amusing. After a while I suppose there is a chance it could get quite tedious.
