Two English guys working for ARM have developed either the ultimate Twitter peripheral or a sure sign of the imminent decline of Western civilization as we know it: A Big Mouth Billy Bass that reads tweets sent to @mbedmicro.
Either way, they presented at the Embedded Systems Conference at the Hynes Convention Center this week. The bass runs on a microcontroller platform developed by ARM engineers Simon Ford and Chris Styles. In the live streaming video above, you can watch Billy read your tweet. Here’s a list of Billy’s recitations, and here are some reactions from conference-going twitterers.
If this thing ever goes into mass production, I’m dropping out of society. After the jump, watch Billy lip sync to Homer Simpson and Office Space.
