Their system, called RedTacton, borrows an important component of laser printers to turn the body into a resilient, high-speed data pipe with a capacity equal to that of a fast broadband connection. With a RedTacton card in your PDA or cellphone and your skin acting as a data cable, you can exchange business cards or documents with whatever or whoever you touch. It means a complete career resumé can now be transferred in a quick handshake.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://technology.newscientist.com/channel/tech/mg19626301.700-your-body-the-high-speed-data-cable.html">This is only the start. How about cars, photocopiers and cellphones that change their settings to your personal preferences the moment you lay hands on them. Or vaults and desk cabinets that open only when authorised people reach for the lock, drug bottles that sound an alarm if an ageing grandparent tries to take the wrong pill, advertising panels that explain themselves to punters who tap them, or vending machines that respond to soft skin rather than hard cash</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/08C4A353-74A2-49C2-9B76-A94A03DC4A34/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
