Nanotech Tattoos
So I read an article this morning on Slashdot about a new technology that would allow you to insert small flexible nanotubes underneath your skin, which would essentially create a display screen…..right on your body. How awesome is that?! You could text people right from the palm of your hand, literally. Apprently Phillips has taken this idea to an artistic level and applied the technology into the realm of tattos, so you would be able to change a tattoo whenever you wanted or have the tattoo change based on your mood, or just have an animated tattoo. If this stuff isn’t the coolest thing ever I don’t know what is. It was also discussed in a similar article about how tiny wireless receivers could be implanted as well, essentially making you wireless. Now I am fairly certain that this technology isn’t anywhere near the commercial level yet but nonetheless, I am so getting a digital tattoo whenever it does. A display screen on my hand would be my dream come true. I’ll post the video below so you can see just how awesome this is. I realize the video is a year old but the article made it seem as if research companies were actually making some real headway on this, so apparently this could be reality in the next couple years. I apologize however for Phillips need to use naked people in their ad, was that really necessary? Its still pretty damn cool tho…enjoy.
