Now, this is a seriously good April fool joke by Google – I mean seriously. I am sure many will be taken for a ride. For a techie though, it is clear that this is a April Fool prank that Google has played on us.
Google has launched a beta of something called Google motion –Essentially, something that will understand your gestures using the web camera and will carry out commands on your email. Here is what Google has to say about Google Motion.
The mouse and keyboard were invented before the Internet even existed. Since then, countless technological advancements have allowed for much more efficient human computer interaction. Why then do we continue to use out-dated technology? Introducing Gmail Motion — now you can control Gmail with your body.
Check out the Video explaining what Google Motion is all about.
Let me be honest, sooner than later something similar will surely come up – but as of now, it is a professional Google April Fool joke !
On a day where every hack prankster in the world dusts off the old “funny prank muscle” and embarks on a journey of of hoodwinking, I implore you to choose the road less traveled, my dear impressionable readers.
