Point of Sale, In Human Expression
It would be a fascinating study to use the webcams built into most modern laptops to capture photos of people’s expressions just at the moment they clicked “Submit” on different e-commerce forms. I’m not exactly sure how it would work — maybe a browser plugin, or a desktop app that ran silently in the background. You’d catch the gleam of anticipation in the eyes of the owners of new flat-screens from BestBuy.com, the trepidation of law school candidates paying their LSAT registration fees, and the victory dances of winning bidders on eBay.
You’d also see me flipping the bird at CityofBoston.gov as I submitted payment for a questionable parking ticket I received last weekend.
Like I said — the results would be pretty interesting.
