More about Human Heat

Human Heat
Back

The normal temperature of a living human body is 36.5 degrees.

The last military – police technological innovations are thermal cameras: They can capture at distance the warmth of a body in a boat, the count heat sources , 10, 15, 30 people. I imagine that, if asked to the intelligent machine of their precision they will also give the age, health, blood pressure of each individual.

(…)

Electronic eyes that see the invisible, tele thermometers that discoverers that the intruder gets closer with a fever of about unpredictable consequences. The machines that detect the heat generated in a the boats will send their data to a database headquarters of human warmth. I thought that the warmth had to do with affection and hug, but has emerged as a means to locate undesirable, and isolate and put in jail. The warmth of police sensors weighs more than a boat with 30 passengers sensors.

Is comforting to know that the strong ones are inexorably delicate.
