US technology website Mic said that a 20-year-old geek Ben Engel will fly to California in a few weeks to implant a Bluetooth headset into the head skin. Ben Engel tried to combine bone conduction technology to directly control the phone and other hardware through the electronics embedded in the head.
Although the concept of implanting devices into the human body has long been proposed, there are currently no such products on the market. Engel uses existing technology to try this concept, which also indicates that the next step for smart devices may be to implant into the human body. This will bring great changes to people's lives, and there are still many hidden concerns. But it is undeniable that this change makes us look forward to the future of smart devices.
First, the implantation of smart devices into the human body is an inevitable trend of its development.
The idea of ​​implanting smart devices into the human body is not a novelty. When people look at wearable devices, research on implantable devices such as slimming chips and bio-batteries has quietly emerged. Let's take a look at some of the "anti-day" implantable smart devices.
Weight loss chip
Obesity is one of the major problems that plague modern people. According to the World Health Organization's survey data, the proportion of overweight people in many developed countries has reached more than half, and the proportion of people who are extremely obese is one-third. Obesity not only affects people's appearance, but also causes diseases such as heart disease, fatty liver, depression and even cancer.
In 2013, MarTIn Fussenegger, a professor at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland, invented an implanted chip. The cells used in this chip contain two genes. One of them is responsible for detecting the blood lipid level of the human body. When it finds abnormal blood lipid levels, it transmits information to another gene that controls appetite, while another gene releases hormones that cause satiety. The purpose of weight loss. It is expected that human experiments will be conducted in 2016, and it will take another 10 years to get a large-scale listing.
Steve Bloom of Imperial College London also invented a microchip that might replace various types of bariatric surgery. "It's just a very small implant that doesn't cause any side effects. It just suppresses appetite in a natural way. The brain receives signals from the intestines, just like the signals received after a regular meal. The signal tells the brain not to eat any more, the digestive tract is full of food, you don't need to continue eating." Bloom said.
From this point of view, slimming chips not only help to make people's appearance more beautiful, but also beneficial to health.
Birth control chip
Last year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) magazine "Technology Entrepreneurship" reported on a study of remote control birth control chips invested by Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The chip is controlled remotely and can be used for up to 16 years. As long as it is implanted in the arm, abdomen or back, a small amount of contraceptive hormone can be released by remote control, thereby achieving the purpose of birth control.
It is reported that this product is expected to enter the market in 2018, and its price will not be very outrageous. The birth control chip can reduce the harm of the drug to the female body, reduce the overhead and improve the user experience.
Brain machine interface
In science fiction, there are often episodes in which humans control the computer through the brain. In reality, this illusion has gradually become a reality. The BrainGate team at Brown University in the United States is working on how to interface the brain with a computer. They said: "The baby-sized aspirin-sized electrodes are implanted in the brain. Preliminary studies have shown that nerve signals can be decoded in real time by computers and used to manipulate external devices." In 2012, the BrainGate team implanted a sensor with 96 electrodes into the surface of a brain of a paralyzed patient. As a result, the patient successfully completed the drink with the mind control arm, which was the first time the patient picked up something in 15 years. In this regard, the project's founder John Donoghue said: "This is a very great achievement, we finally helped the patient achieve the long-cherished wish for many years."
In addition to its role in medical care, the brain-computer interface will also help in areas such as driving, games, and networking. According to chip maker Intel, the brain-computer interface will be put into practical use by 2020. Intel Research's Dean Pomerleau said: "At the end of the day, people may be more likely to be implanted in the brain. Imagine that you can browse the web with your own thinking."
Bio battery
Although there are many implantable devices, how these devices get energy is a problem. Because it is unrealistic to remove these devices from the body and replenish energy frequently, whether it is put into the body. In response to this problem, the research team at Draper Laboratories in Massachusetts, USA, developed a biodegradable battery. Implantation into the body creates energy and can be delivered to where it is needed before it melts automatically. This invention advances the process of implantable smart devices.
Today, with the rapid development of technology, the development of smart devices into the implantable direction has become an inevitable trend, which will change our lives, but at the same time it will bring us hidden concerns.
Second, when smart devices enter the consumer market, hidden worries come along
As smart devices have gradually entered the consumer market, many changes have taken place in our lives. Smartphones give people a more diverse way of communication. Smart bracelets make people more aware of their physical condition. Smart glasses free our hands. VR helmets give us a better entertainment experience... but everything Both have two sides. Although this trend can bring many good changes to people, the problem will follow.
First, it may cause degradation of language functions. If people are accustomed to communicating by transmitting information or sensing, then the language will be second. From the current situation, the use of smart phones has reduced people's communication. The New York Times said that it has become common for people to play mobile phones at parties. The development of smart devices has led to the loss of communication skills, and we should change this phenomenon.
From this point of view, once the implantable smart device is popular, its more advanced communication method may be the loss of language ability of human beings. Language is the carrier of culture, and losing language will destroy culture. So for humans, the degradation of language function will be a terrible thing.
