Okay. this is weird.
Phillips is developing this technology to implant microchips embedded in silk fibers into the human skin so that the skin becomes a screen.
One of the uses of this would be changeable tattoos that apparently are stimulated by desire... just in case you couldn't tell you were turned on? -- After all, why pay attention to your partner during sex when you can just read the bulletin on their skin... for anyone who pays attention we already emit bulletins...
More likely this technology is being developed for devious military reasons. I read an article somewhere in the last couple of years that talked about making clothing that was screen-like and could match the visuals of the environment around it... the ultimate camouflage... this kind of technology could make the wearer virtually invisible, just a ghost, shimmer, or static, just like in the Predator movies...
So maybe they're cloning human/robots who will be virtually naked except for their skinscreen which can shift or transform to hide them in the environment, or maybe the military will learn the techniques of butterfly display and exhibit monstrous visages on the skin of their new stealthy-soldiers to terrorize communities... or maybe they'll display hypnotic patterns and put adversaries into suggestive trances...
Yes, I have a good imagination.... but if there is one thing I've learned over the years... if I can imagine it the odds are somebody else with the means, and way less of a conscience, has already made it a reality...
Makes me want to pull a Thoreau
Anyway. Here's the Article and Creepy video:
