OK. This creeps me out!

:panic This was read about on a gadget blog and then a link to a site for some "Greener Gadgets." This is not a blog, but a gadget contest entry site: Core 77

http://www.core77.com/competitions/GreenerGadgets/projects/4673/

This is not a blog, but a contest for engineering of greener gadgets for "humanity."

Yes that definitely gets a 10 out of 10 rating on my creep-o-meter.

The mark of the beast technology is here. The only question now is how much longer will we be here?

This is a joke right? The last line of the article says "The product is powered by pizza." :)

Heh, guess i'm the only one that though "Woah, cool!".

Yeah, it's the technology moving ever closer, but this isn't it, which still leaves it in the nifty bucket for me. :nod

No, not a joke! The concept is that the food you eat, i.e. pizza, provides the power from within your bloodstream for the unit. You know carbo-powered.

Digital Tattoo Interface

Jim Mielke - United States

Her cell phone is ringing, but the display is turned off. She lightly pushes a small dot on the skin on her left forearm to suddenly reveal a two by four inch tattoo with the image of the cell phone's digital display, directly in the skin of her arm. She answers the call by pushing a tattooed button on her arm. While she's talking, the tattoo comes to life as a digital video of the caller. When she finishes, the tattoo disappears.

This Bluetooth device is permanently implanted beneath the skin. It is flat, flexible, silicon and silicone. Tightly rolled when it's inserted through a small incision, and then unfurled beneath the skin, it lies benignly between skin and muscle.

Through the same incision, two small tubes are attached from the implanted device to an artery and a vein. A coin sized blood fuel cell in the implant converts the blood's glucose and oxygen from the artery to the electricity required to power the device. Used blood returns through to the vein. The digital device's power source is the same as for all of the biological components in the body.

The surface of the implant that faces the underside of the skin is covered with a matrix of field producing pixels that activate a matching matrix of pixels tattooed onto the surface of the skin above the implant. The field penetrates the skin to drive the tattooed display, while the skin continues to provide its function of sealing the body from the world. The surface of the implant is also a touch screen control, pressed through the skin. Rather than ink, tiny clusters of microscopic spheres are injected, like tattoo ink, into the skin. Each sphere is filled with a field sensitive material that changes from clear to black when a field in the matrix is turned on.

This device communicates wirelessly with the world as well as with other devices implanted in the same body. It is always present, always on, but out of sight and non-obtrusive. It also continually monitors for many blood disorders, alerting the person of a health problem: A human version of the check engine light. Product styling is the latest and coolest downloaded display interface showing on any tattoo on the block. This product is waterproof and it is powered by pizza.

Hope this answers the "powered by Pizza" question.
