We have a feeling Microsoft is going to be none too happy about this, but Matsushita Electric Works has already commercialized technology that uses human skin as a data transmission medium to a number of manufacturers. Apparently some company called Teraoka Seikou will use the system to help butchers measure and sell meats. Which is an unexpected fit for the technology given the millions of other possible uses, but we won’t deny how eerily appropriate it is for a meat-seller to be using skin-transmitted data devices. We can’t wait!
