In fact, skin is a very good conductor of data as  they were able to achieve a rate of 10Mbps using small, flexible  electrodes – that’s certainly faster than my internet. <img src="http://pigjockey.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/skinconductor.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The scientists placed electrodes 30cm apart on a person’s arm and  they found that the low-frequency electromagnetic waves pass efficiently  through the skin with little outside interference. Rather than wiring people directly to the internet, the  team see health benefits for their technology. It is difficult to monitor vital signs, such as blood sugar and  electrical activity of the heart, in a person going about their everyday  lives because it means either covering them in snaking wires connected  to a recording device, or using wireless transmission. It looks like this technology will carry on progessing and who knows –  we could all be walking internets in the very near future. ~ Give a + Rep if you like this pose ~ </blockquote>
