I bet Isaac Assimov never predicted this!

What if your cell phone could detect when your stress levels were out of whack and then give you a pep talk to make you feel better? What if it could detect your bad breath, your caloric intake, and your pulse? Well, that’s the latest tech idea out of Japan, proving that we really haven’t seen it all.

“The prototype Wellness mobile phone from Japan’s NTT DoCoMo Inc. targets users with busy lives who want a hassle-free way of keeping track of their health,” according to company spokesman Noriaki Tobita.

This phone apparently has internal sensors that track all of this stuff. When you want to determine your stress level, it asks you a series of questions like, “Did you go to sleep after midnight?” or “Do you feel lethargic?” and if the user responds with too many yeses, the phone gives a high stress reading. It then shoots out a happy go lucky message like,”Don’t worry, tomorrow is another day!”

I don’t know about all of you, but I think I can get all of that information with just one glance in a mirror!
