Well if you thought that the idea of machine tracking human nature is far off then you are in for a surprise….
Gilad Mishne at the University of Amsterdam has developed a mood tracking software which can guesstimate and predict your mood by analyzing your postings on the blog.
Freakonomics also has a post on this
“It tracks the blog entries of Live Journal users and aggregates their mood indicators to see how a given event (a terrorist act, a natural disaster, an election) influences societal mood".
Levitt proposed that corporations might employ a similar feedback device so that CEO's could know what their employees are thinking.

Imagine the kind of data this would generate , organisations would be able to read their customers mind,may be it will lead to a situation where one will be offered products as per the current sentiments of their prospective customers.
I guess we all would resemble like this man to the software which will be tracking our moves.Gosh this is just too scary...........
