For a long time, 10+ years, I’ve always said that the day will come where you will become more intimate with your computer. It wasn’t a wish or anything like that, it was just an observation.
I use to make fun of this eventuality saying that someone was going to create a “di#k drive” and we would laugh about it. I said I should patent it because it will happen and it would be the next multi-million dollar invention. Well, they’ve gone and done it.

I saw this today and my mouth dropped. Everyone who knows me, knows that I’m a pretty laid back guy and stuff like this would never bother me. But this one does. I have this thing about monogamy and being respectful of the one you love and have committed yourself to.
So when is it really being unfaithful to the one you love? When do you betray that trust and oath you have entered into? How would this conversation go with this device? “No honey, I’m not cheating on you with someone. I’m just letting someone I don’t know manipulate this device that so happens to be locked on to my…”.
I’m all for adults being able to do what they want. It used to be magazines and now it’s videos and images. But this really does cross that line. I know, it’s marketed as a peripheral for a game but you know the next step will be making it interactive.
Oh the courts will be in a tangled mess with this. What happens when the first suits are filed? What happens if someone underage gets ahold of this (no pun intended). This is going to be interesting.
I’m not advocating this nor do I support it. I think its wrong.
