Here's one of the new technologies, turning your body into a conduit, a "human area network."

I be a network.

RedTacton: "RedTacton is a new Human Area Networking technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path. - RedTacton uses the minute electric fieldemitted on the surface of the human body. Technically, it is completely distinct from wireless and infrared. - A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a RedTacton transceiver. Physically separating ends the contact and thus ends communication. - Using RedTacton, communication starts when terminals carried by the user or embedded in devices are linked in various combinations according to the user's natural, physical movements. - Communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or torso. RedTacton works through shoes and clothing as well."
