Gotta hand it to the California
folks for always being in front of the curve
technologically and politically correct, um, correctally. The city of San Francisco is now offering wireless narrated
boat tours of the City starting on May 24. The tours depart from the city’s
Ferry Building, and users will be given wireless headsets before they head out.
The tours are for
cruises of the Bay and last about 90-minutes. Looks like you can choose from several tours which focus on the city’s architecture, natural history and Native
Americans. Actually, it sounds pretty cool, but the obvious lameness comes from having to buy and don the headsets.
Shouldn’t these come through your cell phone or something? Yeah yeah, I know most phones probably aren’t
equipped, but I still think the smart folks there should come up with something…maybe an implantable chip in
your ear or something. But still, pretty cool. I could see these being great for a place like New York.
