Body Internet as a Revolution of Communication

It’s only a matter of time before the Internet and the human body finally join in a matrimony of a hand-held-free existence. Smart phones will find their way into storage bins and cabinet drawers, relics of an antiquated, cumbersome past. Human wrists will be liberated of the silicon bands that reminded you they were always there, always wrapped around you - not exactly a burden but a little piece of baggage that needed to be recharged, needed to be cared for lest it get cracked or mechanically drowned in a body of water if accidentally forgotten. 

Currently, the craze is smart glasses. These extra two eyes will crescendo into one of the new norms of connectivity. Yet it’s what comes after these smart devices that illustrates the next real future of communications: Body Internet - the Internet of Bodies (IoT.) 

It would be an understatement to say the race is one to determine what exactly will be the new, future norm of connectivity. The research being conducted mainly by universities and start-ups, is staggering. Will it be devices injected slightly under the skin? Will it be injectable inks of conductive materials - smart tattoos? Or, hope you are sitting down: brain chips?  It seems clear all of these technologies will be floated to the public before the natural order of selection lands on the ONE. 

I am in my late Sixties, and when I think back on my early years - the telephone booth days - I can hardly believe where technology has taken us. Even the smart phone is still something of an amazing invention, really hitting the market around 2007. Now people are grappling with AI. It dominates the news almost every single day. It’s the fastest moving technology of all time, and at the speed it is now moving there’s no telling where it will take us. A lot of people are nervous. A lot are excited. Be careful what you wish for is staring us right in the face. 

I am in the middle somewhere, knowing AI is not going away so the best approach, for me, is to learn to understand it and to use it in constructive, non-negative ways. 

As for Body Internet, I believe people should be able to opt-out of certain situations. The use of smart glasses is not yet mainstream - and it remains to be seen if it will be adopted to the level of smart phones and watches. One major difference about the smart glasses technology is the ability to video and audio record your surroundings hands-free. There are strong privacy concerns in this sort of environment, which is how I came to think of the term Body Firewall. I am exploring wearable options people could use to legally block certain signals. I say legally because there are federal and other laws against interfering with communications signals. I registered BodyFirewall.com to further explore this technology.

I won’t burden you with an extremely long article at this point. By way of further introduction this is where I currently stand. I will explore both body internet and body firewall, as well as AI wearables. Let’s just conclude with something almost all of us can agree on: these are very interesting times.
