-------Futuristic tattoos can monitor health, link you to the web
You don’t have to look like a Star Trek Borg to wear skin-mounted electronics. A team of scientists and engineers at the University of Illinois has developed a “smart skin” that can be used to connect wearers to the cyber-world as easily as sticking on a temporary tattoo. The smart skin can monitor your heart rate or brain waves, for example, or detect the electric activity in muscle contractions and send the signals to a computer, without stick-on electrodes, bulky wires, conductive gels, tape or skin-penetrating pins. Just a few centimetres wide and thinner than a human hair, the smart skin could make monitoring people’s physiological status more comfortable and more accurate than using electrodes because it stays stuck to the skin and doesn’t interfere with the wearer’s movement, the researchers say.

DeMint: Obama Administration Most "Anti-American" In My Lifetime

"We saw within a few days that this president was going to be heavy-handed, he was going to implement his agenda and pay back his political allies. And then we quickly saw with the stimulus that he moved into spending literally $1 trillion on what was effectively a government spending plan, and it just went on from there to ObamaCare and then to Dodd-Frank. It has been the most anti-business and I consider anti-American administration of my lifetime. Things that are just so anathema to the principles of freedom, and everything he has...
