blog.scifi.com— Each of the rings stores the wearer's personal information, so when a handshake puts two rings close together they exchange the stored info, making small talk and introductions unnecessary.

I dont understand how this eliminates the need for introductions and small talk.How are you going to know who the person is? Shake their hand and then bust out the laptop look at their name and then go Oh hello mr smith, CEO of my company.When i meet someone i want to know what their name is, what they do, and if they are not a solely a friend, what they can do for me. This ring is useless.I hope that the idea is a project for a highschool or intro uni class. The idea is a waste of time and money otherwise.
Why is it necessary for any company to know who you are associating with. Whoever makes these rings will then have a great way to know exactly who you are and what you do. There is nothing better than having big brother looking over your shoulder. How about Socialism....highest bidder gets the rights to information about everyone who owns one?!
Indeed I have - I was gonna mention this myself, but it seems you beat me to it. Information-sharing hand implants (or even rings, for that matter) are kinda creepy.
f**k handshakes.I will take back my statement when "regular handwashing after using a restroom" is common place.I don't want your poo or pee on my hands, god damnit, i eat with those!

Thats the beauty of it! Look at video games, look at movies, look at a lot of technology around you, it is just fun!

Hrm, so now I don't even have to use a corny pickup line. She'll just shake hands to tell me to get lost!

It's only being written up as a way to avoid human interaction because the author is afraid of that happening.
