I don't get it...and I'm sure that I don't like it.

Here's what I consider to be an abomination--an abuse of technology that attempts to expand the social milieu to include robotic extracorporeal gesture and graphic telecommunication.
Following on from the success of Neurowear’s brainwave controlled cat ears, the Necomimi, the company have now unveiled their latest fashionable prototype that utilises brainwaves. Named Shippo, it is a tail that moves depending on your mood.
Showcased at the Tokyo Game Show, a concept video has been released (see below) which demonstrates how it works. If you’re feeling relaxed then the tail will swish slowly. If you happen to be concentrated on something then the tail will start to sway more quickly. But the tail is not the only thing.
Neuro Tagging involves wearing a brain reading sensor that is connected to a smart phone. A neural app will read your mood, with cute cartoony faces visualising how you are feeling. It will then tag your mood and location on a map which can be shared. So if for example you were inside Mr. Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe and the neural app read your mood as ‘excited’ then this would be recorded on a map for other users to see.

Seems to me that God gave us wonderfully expressive faces and voices; all the electronic stuff is superfluous and dehumanizing. All this 'tagging' and 'sharing' is hive-mind stuff--the end of the individual.
