Maybe it's both.

Like Warheads or Fireballs.

Where has Jacob gone and is there any way we can buy his time?

So how do these 'ASBO's stop you from swearing?

Mutual Friend 11-08-2006 06:50 PM

They electrocute you if these audio sensors detect certain 'offensive' words. You think I'm joking.

Well, I am obviously, fuckwits.

OffT: It's an assonance!
OnT: They sound a bit stupid, as do electric trackers. They won't work on really bad people, and the ones that aren't really bad can be taught. It's almost as bad in Pretties, which has everyone getting an interface cuff if you do anything like climb a tower, which records all conversations and movements.

They're given by courts I believe, they restrict what an individual can do, and if they break these restrictions, there are tougher consequences.

Well, we've all been there.

I have no idea what that device is, but does it need to be that complex?

:

The Ludovico technique is a fictitious drug-assisted aversion therapy from the novel and film A Clockwork Orange. It involves the patient being forced to watch violent images for long periods of time, while under the effect of drugs that cause a near death experience. The idea is that if the patient is forced to watch the horribly graphic rapes, assaults and other acts of violence while suffering from the drug effects, the patient will assimilate the sensations and then become incapacitated or very ill either attempting to perform or even just witnessing said acts of violence.

So what's all the stuff on the top of the head for?

Mutual Friend 11-23-2006 05:42 PM

I have a feeling that the filmmakers didn't spend time considering and engineering precisely what every piece of a fictional machine fictionally does.

Have I been here before?

Part of the contraption is to force him not to close his eyes or look away and I assume that the top contains sensors to detect his brainwaves whilst the process is in... process.
