| "I don't know if you have seen it, but in the movie "Bait" with Jamie Foxx, there is a tracking/recording device implanted in his jaw that is actively monitored by the NSA. Outside of this, I have never seen an actual implementation of the technology. I suppose it is one form of media borrowing from another." (rk 4/17/2004 9:31:12 PM ) |
| "Don't forget the "subcutaneous communicators" from the classic Star Trek episode Patterns of Force. That was in the 1970's though." (Nyrath 11/12/2004 6:56:07 AM ) |
| "My sister-in-law has a cochlear implant - a hearing aid that uses electrodes attached to the cochlea (inner ear) to stimulate the auditory nerve directly, so no mechanical vibration is necessary. The electrodes come to a small magentic plate beneath the skin behind her ear. The rest of the hearing aid is a small case containing the microphone, battery, amplifier, signal processing system, and a magnetic probe that clings to the subcutaneous plate and uses magnetic fields to energize the electrodes.
Not a full communication system, but it'd make a dandy "earphone" for a silent comm system.

| "The problem with implanted stuff is that it's hard to upgrade!

| "have you ever encounter what is known as virtix. i only got the gist of its function, and that is enough to make me persue this new technology, for it test many realities and i must say that just like personalities, to each his or her own" (oooooooooo 9/12/2005 11:21:54 AM ) |
