The Greener Gadgets Conference had some really ‘interesting’ concepts. Take this concept by Jim Mielke for example; a gadget that is ‘tattooed’ under your skin and runs on blood by turning glucose and oxygen into electricity.

It’s an electronic interface embedded under the skin that looks like a tattoo. You could use it as a phone, computer, or traditional tattoo by loading it up with a new tattoo design whenever you get bored. The display “works” by changing the color of smart-ink pixels tattooed over the implant. It also acts as a touchscreen input device, so you could manage your cellphone calls by tapping on your arm. There’s also potential for a 3G video call to be shown on your skin. This would probably be a bad idea on really hairy arms!

Cool!!! But so creepy. At this point, you'd never get away from your tech gadgets. You'd have no choice but to take it camping or sailing. If this ever becomes mainstream, airplanes are going to have to think of a way around people turning off their electronics at take off and landing.

I do like the idea of changing your tattoo when bored...but would definitely be tempted to check my email while camping...Call me oldskool, but I think I'll just stick to stand-alone gadgets, and regular old tattoos :-P
