----------------------------------- aiolos Mon 06 Mar, 2006 NanoPaint to block cell phones ----------------------------------- The intrusion of cellular phone rings into theaters, schools and nearly every other nook and cranny of modern life may soon hit a wall. Playing to the backlash against ubiquitous communication, a company called NaturalNano is developing a special high-tech paint that relies on the wizardry of nanotechnology to create a system that locks out unwanted cell phone signals on demand. It is also another breakthrough application of nanotechnology, the emerging science of harnessing sub-microscopic organisms for everyday uses, like stain-resistant pants and transparent sunblock. The National Science Foundation has predicted that nanotechnology eventually will be a trillion-dollar industry. "You could use this in a concert hall, allowing cell phones to work before the concert and during breaks, but shutting them down during the performance," said Michael Riedlinger, president of NaturalNano of Rochester, N.Y.

I can't stand people that have to take calls or start talking on the phone in places they shouldn't be. They need to paint every restroom with this stuff so the stalls can go back to being used by the newspaper readers and a place where the dicks hang out. (bad pun there... lol)
