I say may they all get their just deserts and cough fee too! TR Oh for sure Tammie. The evil minions are just shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. The people asleep are still in their bunks, unaware of the danger. We are leaving the Titanic, praise the Lord! “Shell-shocked Shelli” here ... Do you think this is it ... crossing over the line of the point of no return? I’m sweating bullets with the thought of having to upgrade my old flip phone for a smart phone. But this here knowledge ... just brings it waay out into loonyville level. Do you see the average person ditching their expensive smart phones for this? And do you think this is the platform for the mark of the beast? Google working on smart tattoos that turn skin into living touchpad Business -Standard.com Google is working on smart tattoos that, when applied to skin, will transform the human body into a living touchpad via embedded sensors. Part of Google Research, the wearable project is called "SkinMarks" that uses rub-on tattoos. The project is an effort to create the next generation of wearable technology devices, the CNET reported citing white papers and demo videos, Here's how the technology works. The sensor-driven tattoos are applied to a part of the body. The sensors can then be triggered by traditional touch or swipe gestures, like we perform on smartphones. There are a few gestures that are more specific to working on the skin's surface. "You could squeeze the area around the tattoo or bend your fingers or limbs to activate the sensors". The researchers at Saarland University in Germany wrote in a white paper that the benefit of using skin as an interface "is tapping into the fine motor skills that human beings naturally have". The project is partly funded through Google Faculty Research Awards. Interacting with your own skin and limbs also means you can do it without looking. The tattoos are made by screen printing conductive ink onto tattoo paper. Some of the prototype tattoos include cartoon drawings or light up displays. "Through a vastly reduced tattoo thickness and increased stretchability, a 'SkinMark' is sufficiently thin and flexible to conform to irregular geometry, like flexure lines and protruding bones," the researchers wrote. - Fair Use - There’s a reason tattoos became all the rage in the 20th century. It is all leading up to this. Hard pass from me. My friend responded to this article with ... “I had a friend who wrote articles on technology trends for a well known magazine. He told me to watch advertisements on tv. That is where they start to roll out new tech. I saw a commercial that had a person walking down the street and tapped the air in front of them with their finger and a screen appeared. They then tapped on the screen in the air like you would your phone or laptop. That is where it is going. To what end, I don't know. They are prepping people for the Mark as we speak.” And just think how more advance it will be 3 1/2 yrs from now. :wacko:
