Cyborgs 'R' Us

What's your sign, baby?
Never mind, I already know just by shaking your hand.

TWO Japanese telecoms giants have developed technology that turns the human body into a broadband-paced link that allows e-mail addresses to be exchanged through a simple handshake, a report said Monday....

Is that a PDA in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

Apparel and handbags have their own conductivity, allowing an electrical connection to a PDA that can remain in one's pocket, the paper said.

Yeah, man, we just had this, like, instant connection!

The companies have confirmed in an experiment that data can be transmitted at 10 megabits per second, comparable to the speed of a broadband Internet connection, it said.

Hey boss, I finished that report you wanted, but I can't give it to you because the doorknob to my office just crashed.

The technology could allow data communications through door knobs, switches, desks and chairs, the paper said.

Soon we'll all be on the hot seat.

Read more about it.
