Se poartă fiţuicile cu microvibraţii
www.adevarul.ro:
Fiţuicile obişnuite, ascunse pe mânecă sau sub tivul fustei nu mai sunt de mult timp la modă, şi chiar hands-free-urile tind să devină învechite. Pe lista celor mai convenabile metode de a copia se numără „apăsatele”: toate informaţiile se trec pe foi cu un pic subţire care are pasta consumată. La prima vedere, foaia va fi albă, dar înclinată în lumină se va transforma într-un prieten de nădejde.
Tot la categoria scrisului invizibil se numără şi
pixurile cu ultraviolete, prevăzute cu o pastă specială, incoloră. La
celălalt capăt, pixul are un led cu lumină ultravioletă care face
textul vizibil. Un astfel de instrument magic costă doar 5 lei.
….
O altă variantă este sistemul cu microvibraţii care
se montează în ureche, în apropiere de timpan. Închirierea unui astfel
de sistem costă 30 de lei, ofertele fiind numeroase în ziarele de mică
publicitate.
