It is the jerk-o-meter. That's right boys and girls new technology, new software to help us be more socially aware. It will analyze speech patterns and voice tones on a scale. If you are not paying attention when talking on the phone, a message pops up that says "don't be a jerk" or "be a little nicer". Now if you score higher on the scale your message might say "wow, you are a smooth talker". Telemarketers are interested in the jerk-o-meter and others say that maybe it will help them in their relationships. It could alieviate arguments by making people more attentive since they are being monitored.
