Jerk-O-Meter


Beware of the Jerk-O-Meter! Does anyone else think that this is a bad idea? A machine/software that measures how engaged the person on the other end of the phone is. What if the software isn't 100% accurate? What if the person on the other end is ticked off or preoccupied with something else? All this is going to do is present another avenue for misunderstandings. (Do you smell a sitcom?) Will it be able to accurately judge people from other cultures? Too many what ifs here if you ask me. I don't think a psuedo-lie detector is in anyone's best interest.

Like a mini lie detector from what I've read. It'll measure stress levels in your voice.
