[News] Google Patenting an Electronic 'Throat Tattoo' - VirtualFrost - 11-14-2013
(CNN) -- It looks like Google Glass was just the beginning. Google now appears to be aiming a few inches lower, working on a temporary electronic tattoo that would stick to the user's throat.
Google-owned Motorola Mobility has filed for a patent, published last week, for a system "that comprises an electronic skin tattoo capable of being applied to a throat region of a body."
The patent says the tattoo would communicate with smartphones, gaming devices, tablets and wearable tech like Google Glass via a Bluetooth-style connection and would include a microphone and power source. The idea is that wearers could communicate with their devices via voice commands without having to wear an earpiece or the the Glass headset.
And how's this for future tech? It could even be used as a lie detector.

So basically soon enough we're gonna be tracked down and everything very easily. Technology is slowly taking over our lives and I reckon the future is looking pretty bad honestly. If we could, I'd say stop development on everything and don't upgrade anything, I believe we're fine as it is right now.

Agreed, this is overboard. Throat tattoos that would be able to tell if you're lying and track you?

It doesn't need to slow down, we need to fucking stop producing shit already.
