MP3 IMPLANT INSIDE THE ARM?? WTF

FRANKENSTEIN’S monster’ scientists plan to implant an MP3 player directly into the body – to stop the rising tide of street robberies for the expensive music players.
Birmingham-based firm AF Technologies says it will reduce crime and free people up from wires they currently used because it will work via bluetoothing data from computers and to headphones.
Inventor Alfie Franus managing director of the company, said: “I was inspired to come up with the idea because of the number of mobile phones and MP3 player that were being reported stolen.

“By removing the ability for the thief to easily steal an MP3 player, it reduces the individual’s risk of being a target. And because there are fewer wires it will make it easier to use while exercising.”
He added: “There’s also less waste. There’s no need to upgrade your player to get improvements, because a special chip in it can download updates from special “e-books”, so it’s as easy as reading a book.”

The 20mm-long titanium chip is implanted just beneath the skin at the company’s Birmingham facility using a similar process to chipping cats and dogs. It will be able to hold approximately 2,500 songs and will be charged by the body’s own electrical pulses.
Retail price for the unit will be £800 which will include the cost of implanting and a future removal fee if users decide they wish to get rid of the player.
But campaigners say the move is fooling with nature and could give rise to ethical problems in the future if the technology should develop.
Professor Dirk Studebaker, president and CEO of the Claymore Holistic Sciences Institute in Berkeley, California, says it is untested technology and could cause health problems in the future, or worse.

“This thing could fry your brain,” he said. “Who knows what the effect of having electro gizmos inside you could have on your body?
“What’s going to be next? Attaching guns to people’s arms and sending them into war.
“You’re going to be knee-deep in homicidal cyborgs before you know it.”
