OK, remember, you heard about this here first. I'm going to combine two technologies to predict a wave of the future. The first is 'hearables'. The second is ASMR. Hearables are in-ear computers that "combine the utility of the hearing aid with the entertainment value of a pair of high-end headphones, and potentially much more." You can read all about them in this article. ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, and in video form it is basically a calming reassuring low-threshhold stimulation. "There are thousands of videos with millions of views on YouTube featuring quiet conversation, fingernail tapping, slow unboxings, soft brushing and soothing crinkle sounds. There's a wide range of AMSR videos; don't fall quickly into stereotypes. " Imagine having a positive 'voice in your head' that calms you, reassures you, encourages you and gives you strength. Or the sounds of an expert polishing shoes as you fall asleep.
