NTT DoCoMo have released a paper on the use of human flesh as a networking
|
|
medium:
|
|
|
|
A device attached to a PDA can send and receive weak electrical signals
|
|
through people, with human bodies as communications circuits, the paper
|
|
said, citing sources close to the companies.
|
|
|
|
Apparel and handbags have their own conductivity, allowing an electrical
|
|
connection to a PDA that can remain in one's pocket, the paper said.
|
|
|
|
In this way, people can exchange e-mail addresses, names and phone numbers
|
|
while shaking hands, with the data automatically written into both their
|
|
PDAs, the paper said.
