:robot: We are the Borg :robot: I think the thought that you have data and power coursing through your skin would take some time to get used to.

Only if I stream it right to my brain...



Seriously though, I would not want to use this till its had a few years of other people trying it...

The first time I heard this theory mentioned I figured somebody would try to patent it. I guess we should have seen this coming.

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how well it will really work (and whether there's any PAIN involved!).
