Fabulous device on Gadget Show last night...
Discussion
Did anyone see the 'Sonic Youth Repellent' on the Gadget Show last night? What an utterly marvellous device - turn it on and anyone under the age of 25 is immediately repelled by a loud, annoying sound.
But the best bit is, it's inaudible to folks over 25
Now, where do I get one of these to keep those pesky kids off my garden
Mind you, at £580, it's a tad expensive!!!

Stupid stupid idea, how long will it be before kids themselves get this device and place them in schools and other places. Society needs to learn how to bring up kids properly, like they did in the past (not rocket science is it). Going postal on them with militaristic 'weapons' like this is a sad direction for society to go down.

Which vision of utopia is that then? i did describe a dystopia however. I made a comparison between today and the past and noted the difference was down to parenting.

It seems that society these days is unable to bring up their kids properly (present company excepted of course
) as as I am not a parent, I can't contribute. At least this way, I could keep the little buggers off my garden 
I can just imagine it, their ball comes rolling onto my garden, I'm watching at the window (sad git), press the button and see them run with their ears bleeding
only jokingThey dont bother with things like that up here, they just have classical FM blasting over the tannoys at Metro/Bus stations, in shopping areas and other chav friendly places, seems to keep them away.
That thing last night killed my ears when they turned it on, dogs didn't like it much either, saying that they sing along with anything thats on the tv.

good point, but i do worry about peoples attitudes towards teenagers these days, a lot of kids are good kids that don't hang around on street corners and intimidate people but they are all tarred with the same brush by the masses it seems. Hopefully this market won't keep growing and 'anti-riot' equipment won't be placed everywhere to get rid of 'rowdy' teenagers. I might sound alarmist (to greg_d atleast
), but these days nothing like this surprises me, look at how quickly CCTV has risen and how cheaply it has become. viper_larry said:
