A team called “ Umbrella.net ” ( no coition to Umbrella Corp , we hope ) has developed a prototype system of rules of Bluetooth umbrellas that facilitate “ sudden , striking , and unexpected connections between people in public and urban outer space ” by forming ad - hoc mesh networks when unfurled . As each umbrella is open up and added to the internet , it fire up as it comes online . Unfortunately , since there ’s not a whole lot to do when creating ad - hoc networks that are n’t connected to the internet , the principal app of the short range networking system is schmoose .
poor - range , wireless chat . Now if only we could acquire vibrating , fleshy cord in our throat and a set of communicatory phonemes , mayhap we could extend the chat system entirely with bio - bring forth power over a transonic carrier .
