So I’m supposed to do this thing where I relay the news to you and make appropriate jokes and GIFs and fart sounds. But this is really hard to wrap my head around so here’s the deal: Motorola is looking to develop a pill that will let you connect to your online passwords. Basically you take the pill and your body becomes some sort of conduit so your devices know who you are. Just read this report:

One idea Motorola presented was the “vitamin authentication” pill. One of Dugan’s colleagues showed a small tablet that contains an electronic chip. After someone swallows the pill, stomach acts as an electrolyte in the chip’s battery and powers it. The chip has a switch that turns on and off, generating an 18-bit signal like an electrocardiogram. Ones entire body would be the authentication token, just like the fobs that many office workers carry to get on corporate networks. The authentication could be activated by touch, since the human body conducts electricity — touch your phone or laptop and you’re in.

Of course, this is in its early stages but holy crap. Personally, I’d prefer to just keep trying my password over and over again and eventually having it emailed to me when I forget because the website keeps saying “username and/or password invalid.”

WHICH ONE IS IT, JERK?! I KNOW YOU KNOW! JUST TELL ME!
