Smart Skin

Joey A. -- Engineers around the world have discovered a way to access personal info like medical diagnostics through an thin patch that mounts on the skin that moves with the flexibility of a temporary tattoo. The way they are applied to your skin is also quite like a temporary tattoo. They put the patch on a thin piece of water soluble plastic, then stick it to the skin. The engineers who came up with this idea believe that this is the wearable technology of the future. Unlike past technology of the future, there's no need for any kind of adhesive, to make sure it stays on the skin. With this new development, it stays on the skin permanently. There isn't just one way to use this new innovation, though. You can also control video games and such with it, too. One day engineers hope to use this far more.

I picked this article because the title sounded really cool, and I wanted to know more about this subject. Personally, I think this is a really clever idea, and it makes a lot of sense. It would be so much easier to do things. You wouldn't have to go back and have to access all of your files, instead you could have everything you would need on your body. I could see how it could be dangerous, though, too. At any moment, someone could locate the patch on your body, and boom! That person would have all of your information.
