Imagine what life would be like if you had one of these.

Digital tattoo interface that uses blood glucose and oxygen as fuel.

Seriously, how crazy would that be? If you were a diabetic, you would always know your blood glucose levels, if you were drinking, you would know your BAC, you would know how many calories you were burning, whether or not you had an iron deficiency, and so on. You could monitor your health accurately. Not only that, but you could wirelessly forward that information to your doctor in real-time, should there be a need.

I've never had a traditional tattoo, but I kind of want one of these.

Scary.

So could any third party with the right equipment.  That has governmental / insurance monitoring written all over it.

Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Yeah, I'm struggling with the COOL! vs the PARANOIA!

I thought it was going to be a picture of Ron Jeremy.

Is it really powered by pizza?

oh my god. GROSS!!! haha

You and me both.

Eurgh, that's so creepy! (Not because I worry the gov would use it, but just because I get really icked out by the idea of inserting something beneath your skin, haha).

Yeah, maybe. I am too, but I also kinda want to be a cyborg. Laser eyes would be better, but I'll take what I can get. :D

It looks really interesting!  Unfortunately, it is only an idea at the moment.  It's from a design competition, which means the person who wins just has to have the best design for something in a category...the actual product doesn't have to work.  My brother-in-law won a design competition here in Italy for something similar. 

You all aren't the only paranoid peeps. 

This scares the hell out of me. 

I'm pretty sure if and when that actually happens, the end of the world will soon follow. Or something like that. There goes my Bibles teachings from when I was younger. :-(

See, I was thinking that once you have that kind of thing Big Brother will soon follow...  He's watching, you know ;)

Hahaha I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. I LOVE PIZZA. Scary but cool - I'm on the fence. I would love to be able to monitor my blood sugar so easily. Does she have to hold her forearm up to her head to use the phone?

 yeah, when I read that line, I looked at the headers to see if it was the onion.

I'd want it on the palm of my hand. Built in calculator and mp3 player would be nice too.

Teehee.

Sorry, too techno-weird for me! Didn't even read the description! lol
