When I was younger I always envisaged that in the future the bad boys and girls hanging around streets in gangs would have some superb electronic tattoos that were programmable and very very gaudy. Well it looks like that time is almost here. Designed for medical use the silicon tattoos are inserted under the skin and display whatever you want. Read more here.
This is going to be a massive plus for the younger generations. Currently there are going to be a lot of people coming up to sixty with some serious tattoos on them that just won’t cut it in the old folk’s home. Think what it will be like to see some old bald guy with skinhead tattoos on his arms and hands. The future generations will be able to turn theirs off or at the very least make it say ‘My name is John’ Just in case.
Of course nothing is complete without me looking at the other side of the sword. Instead of being tattooed on our arms with a number we could have an IR tattoo installed in our forehead with our KGB style ID on it. A machine readable one at that.
Remember also that the smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights, cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. — Ayn Rand (1905 – 1982)
