Anyone else getting a twinge of nostalgia for old school CP's virtual
reality when you see the phrase augmented reality?

"Augmented Reality?" Troubadour replies with a slur. "Which one? The
one in the screw top bottle, or the one in the pop top? Ratz has got
it... but ya gotta ask for it."

Oh if only it was the interesting kind.

No the "geeky glasses with HUD" kind.

If you think that spam and pop-ups are bad on the web, wait till they
hit the street.

The MD walks down the street, besuited and booted, with his hat at a
rakish angle and a wicked grin upon his chops. Behind him are a pair
of his femme fatales, the Monkey Nurses, surpriningly elegant on their
unfeasibly tall and shiny lipstick red stilleto heels. One carries a
range of broadcast grade video equipment, recording to old school
solid state media. The other sports a backpack with an aerial nearly
as tall as she is sprouting directly from it towards the sky.

Occasionally the MD points to a particularly confused individual for
the camera nurse to get a good shot of. Oh, hang on, did I mention
confusion? Why yes, everyone around his Monkey Geniusness is in a
state of panic, looking at best lost and at worst panicked and
confused. People are waving devices and arms around with wild abandon
as a they try to cope with a new and unfamiliar horror, especially
those who have to face their sexual partners in their native state for
the first time.

Why, yes, that prankster is recording what happens when a broad
spectrum jamming signal is broadcast into a busy city street, removing
all connections to the Cloud and forcing un-Augmented reality upon one
and all. What will he come up with next?
