SPEECH JAMMING: Walk around the class and talk to other students about speech jamming. вЂњThere are still many cases in which the negative aspects of speech become a barrier to the peaceful resolution of conflicts,вЂќ they said. However, some people tend to lengthen their turns or deliberately disrupt other people when it is their turn rather than achieve more fruitful discussions.вЂќ They added: вЂњWe utilized DAF to develop a device that can remotely jam physically unimpaired people's speech whether they want it or not.вЂќ Other uses of their device include maintaining silence in public libraries and aiding peace-making. They wrote: вЂњWe have to establish and obey rules for proper turn-taking. Tsukada and Kurihara said they wanted to create something that would stop people talking too much in discussions. It uses a system called Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) that plays someoneвЂ™s voice back to them at a split-second delay. The technology is based on medical devices used to help people with speech problems such as stuttering. It does not physically harm the person it hits. Kazutaka Kurihara and Koji Tsukada from JapanвЂ™s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology developed the prototype 'gun' that is pointed at someone from a distance and stops them talking. It prevents a speaker from getting the words out of his or her mouth. The device they call the Speech Jammer literally jams peopleвЂ™s speech. Two Japanese inventors have unveiled a gadget that can stop someone from talking.
