Just imagine these "in-body networks" combined with Phorm 10 or 15 years down the line. You are surfing the net one day and your blood pressure is high and the implants pick up on it and transmit it somehow to the phorm servers and up come adverts for blood pressure medication....
Tin foil hat? Yes quite possibly but it does open up the possibilities. |
Take a look at the microsoft roadmap.
EVERYTHING is geared towards online use. Reverting back to a setup simmilar to the 70s where people connect to a mainframe via a dumb terminal.
Eventualy widows will be nothing more than a glorified browser.
You install that and all your programs are executed via the internet, like MS office, notepad, hell even solitaire.
The benifit of the system is you will need a miccrosoft account in order to do almost anything, making piracy seriously difficult.
Now think about Dr's, Employers, Employees, Teachers, Social Workers, Government officials, Insurance companies, basicly anyone with confidential data regarding you, your partner and children all working online and running through Phorm.
