It is a problem that has defeated generations of philosophers, poets and painters, but one Japanese company thinks it has come up with a way of knowing for sure if people are happy. Hitachi High Technologies, a subsidiary of ovens-to-trains conglomerate Hitachi, says its new happiness-measuring device will let bosses know if they run a happy office -- or if their employees are secretly bored at work. The data is then sent back to a base unit, which calculates the happiness of the group as a whole by comparing the patterns of activity with pre-determined patterns from groups who report being... well, happy. Hitachi says the idea behind the system is to help employers find ways that can increase the group's happiness, thereby improving their productivity.
