Hey, if the technology is out there, why shouldn't we make use of it? We don't want under-aged or over-aged persons walking among us while lying about the most crucial of personal info. This Japanese gadget is a good weapon against unsuspecting people you will meet in the future and do not trust them when telling you they are 26 but the hair on the top of their head has a different color than the one on the sides. Only they could have invented such a device, it's true, but it can be useful in our lives as well.

The Age Prediction Machine, as it was “Google-ly“ translated by newlaunches uses a strange and never before used method to determine in which age group you belong. Apparently, the buzzing sounds played by this machine will only be heard by you if you are in that certain age group, meaning that if you are in your early 40's, you will not hear a thing with the machine set for the 20's. The older you are, the less you will be able to hear.

The categories of age on the Age Prediction Machine are Young to teenager, Early 20's, Barely 30's, 40 years and Above. They say the gizmo was manufactured especially for blind dates when people tend to lie regarding their age. With this machine, you will be able to approximate their age, as soon the people tested start swinging for imaginary insects.

I am now only thinking about the hearing-impaired poor people, who will probably hear sounds from a different category of age and will end up going alone at home, after the paranoid person's scene at the restaurant. This little lie-about-your-age detector costs around $10 dollars and will probably turn the Japanese dating world upside down, if there is a real need for this gadget.
