Questão 82
FUVEST 2005
(FUVEST - 2005 - 1 FASE) Christoph Oswald has no problem approaching women.
As he makes his way through the crowd at his favorite Frankfurt club,
his cell phone scans a 10-meter radius for “his type”: tall, slim, sporty,
in her 30s-and, most important, looking for him, a handsome
36-year-old software consultant who loves ski
holidays.
Before he reaches the bar, his phone starts vibrating and
an attractive blonde appears on its screen. “Hi, I’m Susan,” she
says. “Come find me!” Christoph picks her out of the crowd, and
soon they’re laughing over a drink. Both Christoph and Susan have phones equipped with
Symbian Dater, a program that promises to turn the cell phone
into a matchmaker. By downloading Symbian, they installed a
20-character encrypted code that includes details of who they
are and what they’re looking for in a mate. Whenever they go
out, their matchmaking phones sniff out other Symbian Daters
over the unlicensed, and therefore free, Bluetooth radio
frequency. If profiles match up, the phones beep wildly and
send out short video messages.
