Do you want to connect to WiFi?  Doesn't matter - you will be connected anyway:

Forget the Internet - soon there will be the OUTERNET: the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) plans to beam free Wi-fi to every person on Earth from space

    An ambitious project known as Outernet is aiming to launch hundreds of miniature satellites into low Earth orbit by June 2015
    Each satellite will broadcast the Internet to phones and computers giving billions of people across the globe free online access (and brain cancer?)



Will You Swallow Google's Edible Microchip?


 Will You Wear Google's Throat Tattoo?

Motorola Mobility has filed a patent application for an electronic smart tattoo that can intercept subtle voice commands, subvocal commands, and subconscious thoughts.

The device would read an auditory signal from the tattoo and convert it into a digital signal. The signals from the brain, conveyed by spikes on the hundreds of laryngeal nerve fibers, are already digital, but they bear no similarity to an auditory signal at this point. After conversion in the many muscles that control the speech organs, there is still no single signal that could be sent to a transducer to generate sound recognizable as speech.
