Sometime ago there was a movie about a guy who had his brain upgraded with a computer so he could be a courier for sensistive information. A coworker and I were discussing this and it lead to an interesting discussion about the future of healthcare where many people have various implants. My thinking is that the risk of infection & rejection are pretty high and will remain so. My coworker disagreed and cited some example he had read somewhere about a guy who had implanted himself with an rfid capsule. I realize this is totally offtopic, but does anyone know about this? I tried googling everything I could think of related to it and found no info.
I mean if this were the case then you would think folks would be implanting themselves with all kinds of stuff to make life easier. For instance, it would sure cut down on bitcoin theft if your bitcoin wallet was on a microsd card embedded somewhere on your body right? /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
