" GOD MAY HAVE BEEN the first CEO to realize the power of putting a lid on communication. When His people tried to build a Tower of Babel reaching toward the heavens, He scrambled their language, effectively scuttling the project and preserving His brand identity. Engineers at Applied Minds, founded by two former Disney whizzes, have adapted similar methods for a more modern environment: the cubicle. Working with furniture maker Herman Miller, they have created a product called Babble that makes it possible to hold confidential conversations in non-confidential environments such as the office. The Bible-sized device works by capturing your voice, splicing it into random bits, then spitting it out in multiple streams through a speaker. The result sounds like low-hum chatter at a party where all the guests are you, making it tough for eavesdroppers to pick up your actual words. Babble inventors envision it one day being used in any open space where you might want to convey sensitive information: hospitals, restaurants, even on the street.
