Future shock is here. Technology is changing at an ever-increasing pace and it’s now impossible to get used to the last new technology before it’s replaced by an even newer new technology.
Consider this story from Time:
Reuters reports the image-gurus at Panasonic Corp have come up with a camera that will make your face smaller, eyes bigger and even apply makeup.
The tech-giant hopes to cash in on the explosion of social networking worldwide with their latest invention, catering to the social-network savvy and blog connected who also want to look good.
The Lumix FX77, which went on sale in Japan last week, will also get rid of the usual pesky beauty problems people face: brightening yellow teeth, clearing up spotty skin and removing dark circles.
It will even add blush and eye shadow to the image, because everyone knows the secret to beauty is more make-up.
Yeah, the Lumix FX77 might be able to correct the flaws on the outside, but we’re waiting for the technology that can correct the flaws on the inside.
We won’t hold our breath.

Camera sounds difficult to use. Why does it sound so much like lummox?
I'm sorry, but this camera is just unnatural.
God spent a *lot* of time putting all that ugly on apes like Helen Thomas -- removing the ugly from her spoils a Mighty job of uglification.
Wait a minute. If I take a self-portrait with this camera, it's going to add blush and eye-shadow? I'm not sure I like this thing.
They used this camera on Harry Reid and the result was a horses ass. Major improvement though.
Then they tried it on Rosie O'Donnell and that's when the prototype melted down.
There's some things you just can't do.
...so, what do they plan to call it? Gargoyle Remover?
I suppose there was a sample shot of Nancy Pelosi but when further reviewed they found out no matter how good the technology sometimes you just can't get the ugly out.
No matter how much technology is used on Helen Thomas you cant make her any thing other than a bitter racist old hag who has finally gotten off the stage and sitting in the corner of has beens.
But, the liberal version would correct the "imperfections" of the one on the right. You see, the idea liberal woman would be too attractive to be a "sex object" and they typically have far more testosterone than the pets they call husbands and boyfriends.
When I saw the picture and read the headline, my first thought was "wow, it turns them into conservatives? Cool!"
