Ideas for New Things

I thought of a great game show for the future, when we get the necessary technology worked out. It's called "Face that Name". Contestants brains would be hooked up to electrodes and would then be supplied with names or clues. They would then have to work through their synapses to image the person with their brain. We're already reading words through people's brains, so we're getting there.

For instance, the game show host might say, "That black dude from Blood Diamond, Constantine, and at least one of the Lara Croft movies." And you'd have to think:
