Well, that’s at least what some people are thinking about right now. For starters, this may be considered a hard thing to contemplate about, but it may actually turn out to represent the future of personal technology, as the Fitbit makers actually plan to design interactive inking, thus taking smartwatches to a whole new level.

During their years of existence so far, smartphones have started from being extremely big and then they proceeded to scale down and then scale back up again. This evolution has got some analysts thinking about the smartphones will start scaling down again, and chances are that the date may not actually be too far in the future, as companies such as Fitbit are already initiating projects meant to make tech smaller- in fact, so small that it shouldn’t even be held with the help of your hand.

Companies from all around the world have started collaborating on something known as Project Underskin which will actually take a device and well… place it under your skin. The idea is to actually create something like an interactive tattoo that interacts with all of the objects you touch. With this in mind, through the help of the electro-chemical energy, the device may be able to initiate different actions such as opening up doors, protecting credit card information, finding out more about a person once two people shake their hands and much more! Additionally, the device can also play an important health role as it may also have the functionalities needed to detect blood sugar and pressure at the same time and display it along with some more relevant information referring to notifications near your thumb.

This idea has never actually been marketed before and it still represents something completely new that may make people actually think of it as implanting a chip. While it does seem unethical from many points of view at this moment in time, think about it… for how much longer will we continue to carry our phones with us wherever we go? Smartwatches are the future, but Smart Tattoos beneath the skin surface? Well, that’s more.

What do you think? Is this concept ethical?
