Thought Balloons
I honestly wonder what would happen if everyone had their own thought balloons floating over their heads and only the illiterate would be unable to read minds. There'd probably legislation to control all of the "balloon traffic" that'd inevitable spring up. "Thought-proof" cars would be made to avoid decreased visibility during rush hour traffic. Hats to give each of your balloons different colors would be the talk of Europe, but fizzle out in popularity before really hitting it big in the US market. The United Nations meetings would need two sets of translators: one for what a representative is saying and another to read what they are thinking. The thought balloon fashion trend would be close to running out of steam until someone would come up with a way to give each balloon different text styles. Individuality restored to free thought, a boom would most likely hit where couples would not only meet and fall in love over what the other person thinks, but how they think in the same style. Of course, foreign languages would be "thought" in the right alphabet, but right when the UN budget is about to be broken due to double translators, special glasses will come out so people can read balloons in their own languages. World Peace and harmony will eventually occur twenty-two years after the thought balloon revolution hits its peak because everyone will have learned to avoid negative thoughts and in doing so, stop thinking negatively at all.

I think it would cause more wars and fights between people. It would cause huge embarassments, and many people would become reclusive or devise a way to stop their privacy being null and void. World peace would not be likely.
