Talk about invasion of privacy and we all get petrified. In fact, though we would like to think that we have all the privacy in the world we want, we actually do not. We are constantly monitored by market research agencies, our employers, spouses, friends and even the government! While this could lead to a paranoia inducing situation, here is something worse: a wrist-phone that tells your boss when you are slacking or lazing.

Japanese cellphone maker KDDI has announced a wrist cellphone that monitors your movement and uses an accelerometer in order to do so, and reveals to your employer what you are up to. The company seems to be very proud of its invention, but we know better that this is going to be one of the most unpopular gadgets ever to be manufactured.

You certainly do not want your boss to know that you were catching 40 winks when there was nothing much to do anyway, would you? Well moreover, wrist cellphones are not even necessary and no one likes to use them, and hence the whole idea of a cellphone that can be worn on the wrist and that which calls up your boss and reveals what you are doing is inane, and annoying.
