An innovative new device is allowing users to learn piano, while guided by the loving hands of robotics. It’s called Concert Hands, and it operates by pushing your arms on a guided track, while lovingly shocking your fingers when you make a misstep or press the wrong piano key.
Although this technology could already be implemented with frayed wires and crazy stage-moms, the concept of learning piano the same way rats learn not to take pellets is one that could take root and spread like wildfire. What’s interesting to me is how this is the only instrument that electric shocks have been suggested. Nobody is suggesting your child should be hooked up to an oboe then shocked when he doesn’t sounds like Benny Goodman.
Nobody except for me. You should hook up your child to an oboe. And shock him when he doesn’t sound like Benny Goodman.
Concert Hands needs a full-size keyboard to operate, along with a computer running windows that is speedier than 400 mhz. See? It costs so little to shock your children into performing well. If we get the opportunity over at Tsavo to try to test it out, we’ll be sure to tell you whether or not Ned can play Rachmaninoff after the gin soaks up the wattage.
