Cybernetic implant provides life's soundtrack

An implant that plays a continuous soundtrack for your life. Installed in the bone ridge below the ear, it uses a sophiticated genetic algorithm, along with biofeedback, to continuously play music relevant to the situation. Tenseness makes the music more suspenseful (or relaxing depending on the way the wearer trained the algorithm).

How about a ghetto blaster and a tape?

This device would play music relevant to the situation. Wouldn't that make things worse? Nothing like having a suspenseful soundtrack to make your already-stressful day unbearable.

I think it would only be bad in a tense situation. In an exciting or active situation (such as playing a sport, or something competitive) it would probably help by playing suitably energetic music that would get your adreneline going.

You have to admit there is a certain amusement in, say, "eye of the tiger" starting up when you're out playing football with your friends

I think this would be great, as I could only imagine what would go running through my head in the middle of a long workday...
