Tattoo

A hair-thin electronic patch that adheres to the skin like a temporary tattoo could transform medical sensing, computer gaming and even spy operations, according to a US study published Thursday.

The micro-electronics technology, called an epidermal electronic system (EES), was developed by an international team of researchers from the United States, China and Singapore, and is described in the journal Science.

“It’s a technology that blurs the distinction between electronics and biology,” said co-author John Rogers, a professor in materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

“Our goal was to develop an electronic technology that could integrate with the skin in a way that is mechanically and physiologically invisible to the user.”

  1. tip toe, tip toe… toward being forcibly chipped.
    intel inside.

  2. OH BOY!

    I quit gaming with the death of DOS and the BIG push for online gaming. There was just something about ONLINE that bothered me and with everything I hear now my feelings are justified.

    How long until this goes under the skin?

  3. They will start this with all new born babies. Watch out!

  4. Well.. this sounds familiar..

  5. Mark of the beast.

  6. We must refuse the chip refuse the chip. Universal non compliance with the system is the only way to defeat them. This doesn’t mean violence. This just means not complying.

    Dont take any government vaccines

    Do not get chipped

    Try to avoid paying taxes. Starve the beast

    Just do what is right in your heart

  7. RFID tags are tiny radio responders.

    The “squares within squares” that you see in the picture are the tuned antenna/tranmitter/receiver.

    A radio signal transmitted nearby provides the energy for the circuit (no batteries needed).

    A “tag zapper” can be easily constructed that can disable a circuit like the one pictured from a few feet away.

  8. Why is it so imperative that your tax dollars be spent on funding university professors to develop this essential technology? Well the article tells us that “The devices might find future uses in patients with sleep apnea, babies who need neonatal care and for making electronic bandages to help skin heal from wounds and burns. ”

    That’s nice, that there’s actually an intended use for this expenditure of tax dollars. And of course, as usual, it’s to help the sick, the babies, and the wounded. Because they love us and because they care so much.

    Everybody knows that’s what they’re all about. Helping babies and sick people and hurt people. Taking care of us all. Real. Good.

  9. In related news, the number of people converting to the Amish community has skyrocketed.

    • I heard the Amish don’t believe in having guns so that counts me out. They can
      die on their knees like cowards if they wish, but I’m not.

      • Actually the Amish own guns and hunt. They were also recently involved in protesting a photo ID for gun ownership in Illinois.

        So don’t write off the bretheren as “cowards” so quickly.

      • Hey everybody, believe EVERY word ol’ Rabbit Bob says!!! He’s a fountain of knowledge fo’ sho’!!! Good ol’ Bob, bless his maggot a$$ heart!!! Have a goodin’ Bob!!!
        “Rumspringer!!!”

  10. My girl imediately stated oh boy the ‘gamming aspect ‘ of this ‘device’, will certainly build the lines at the clinics ,or where ever they apply them…MOOOOOVE ON DOWN THE LINE FOR YOURS,BEFORE THEY ARE ALL GONE…don’t be late…! Gov’t is,ahhh errr I mean operators are standing by

  11. I simply LOVE the way they try and get the kids onboard with wanting this shite, it will help you play games better , but don’t worry about the monitoring of you that we’ll do when your not playing games.
    Pure BS , sure great idea if its in a hospital to keep your records upto date but it’ll come to no good on the street.

    • Try…? TRY TO GET THE KIDS ON BOARD…? Who do you think runs sheeples lives these fkng days anyway…? THE KIDS DO.Parents these days try to be their kids friend not their parent.You’d have to admit you’re growing old otherwise…!

      • Its going to be another ‘must have’ gadget to woo the people, along the lines of Facebook, Twitter, Iphone etc it’ll be sold with flashy ads and the people will clammer over each other to get it, as the OP states ‘help playing games’ is already a selling point to the yoof of today.
        Well here’s one ‘old man’ who ain’t gonna get it and if they say I can’t do anything without it I’ll just bleat on about my Human rights being infringed, after all thats what every other f****r does.

  12. All bow down to the United Stasi of America and the New World Order empire.

  13. This gonna be sooo hip man, like were do I go to be tattoo with one of those things?

    Yea, the mark of the beast is taking on many shapes and we won’t be able to buy or sell soon without it if we don’t wake up soon.

    • yes-I think Bill Gates and will gona take his dumbed down 360 sheeple to show them how great this slavery control tool can be used for gaming and the Idiots will like it.(also the apple fanboys who got used to be monitored all the time by the iphone)

      And those who still don”t like it-well.They will wait some years till this tatoo is invinsibly small thanks to technical progress and you will get them implanted without even knowing it

      • Working on chips the size of blood cells already in the nano world…’for disease’, that’s all, reeealy it is…!

  14. Everybody knows what everybody else is going to say about this one.
    Who foot the bill for this “research and development”?
    Why the hyperlinks?
    Just say no to Chippy, the RF panda bear.

  15. So much money availabe for Control and oppression.

  16. yeah, now that sounds just wonderful!
