Just last week, I went to see that very good movie based on the great novel; "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and I belief the acting was literally wonderful, and the girl who played the lead part did a most perfect job. Of course, even in the movie it noted the stereotyping of such individuals, and yet, how can anyone say for sure that all tattoos are less than socially acceptable? Not long ago, I wrote an report about healing tattoos, rather than wearing healing bracelets in case of emergency.
Indeed, I would submit to you there are many reasons why people wear tattoos, and many of these folks with tattoos do not fit the stereotype. Thus, these individuals should not be looked down on by community for any reason, as they show personality or a strong reliance system. It shows that they are alive, and not members of the Borg. Okay so, let's add someone else dimension to all this shall we?
In the future, I have no doubt people will come to be one with th e technology, those personal tech devices they carry around. All of that stuff will be embedded, miniaturized, and have thousands if not hundreds of thousands times the current processing ability. Why should you carry colse to a telephone, tablet computer, or some gadget that allows you to do text messaging? You shouldn't, and maybe Nokia is thinking transmit into that future. Let me explain.
There was an enthralling report in MedGadget recently titled; "Put Your Phone, or Skin, on Vibrate," by Shiv Gaglani, posted on March 23, 2012. Apparently, a group of researchers has filed a patent which allows embedded sensors under the skin with haptic pressure sensors where the tattooed key board is for the phone. Meaning you can dial by pressing your skin, and this could be tattooed on your leg, arm, or whatever, and it even has a vibrate mode. The report stated;
"Tattoos have been used for all from aesthetics to gang signs to religious rituals. Within the field of treatment they are often used to Id patients with obvious illnesses or allergies. We've covered emerging healing applications of tattoos manifold times, including a 'nanotattoo' that can monitor blood glucose. Now, tattoos may have yet someone else high tech application. This week Nokia filed a patent that may lead to the amelioration of magnetic tattoos that vibrate when triggered by, say, a phone call. In legal Ip speak, the patent - titled "Haptic Communication".
That's pretty cool isn't it? Yes it is, and there was also an enthralling tidbit in the online news the other day which noted that; Billion Dollars are lost each year in the Us from people losing their Smart Phones. You know, leaving your smart phone at Starbucks, in a bathroom, on an airplane, or at a cafeteria for instance. What if you drop your smart phone in the toilet? This would solve all those problems. Of course, it would probably create some more challenges for our society.
For instance, teachers could no longer take away the kid's smart phones for text messaging if they are embedded technology, and even if they tell their students not to "touch themselves" in class, as in touching the key pad to send a text message, they can merely say that they had an itch so what can the instructor literally do? It seems with any increase in technology we solve problems and create others. Nevertheless, this seems like a pretty enthralling technology, as long as the additional technology embedded under the skin does not cause a disarray in the cellular life of the human biosystem maybe leading to cancer.
Indeed, I hope you will please think all this and think on it because this is cool technology, and maybe you might even want one embedded under your skin. You never have to worry about leaving home without your smart phone.
