Bill Gates believes that electronic tattoos will soon replace smartphone technology. This is not a dystopian fable but an active plan set in motion by Chaotic Moon that was acquired by Accenture. Nanocapacitors that conduct electricity will be integrated into the body through these electronic or biometric tattoos and are activated by simple vital signs.
Marketing focuses on convenience and futuristic technology. Smart watches would be obsolete as the tattoo tracks body temperature, steps, heart rate, potential health issues, and more. Body gestures would have the power to unlock doors, turn on lights, and connect to the internet. One could browse the web without the need for screens or batteries. Annual visits to the doctor would be obsolete as the device would notify the doctor if something was wrong.
The markings can also be used for wireless identification. Border security is the new guise for collecting biometric data, and governments are actively researching tattoo recognition technology to track citizens.
The Washington Post covered the topic back in 2016 when development began. “What would the world be like if we had displays that could adhere to our bodies and even show our emotions or level of stress or unease? In addition to not having to carry a device with us at all times, they might enhance the way we interact with those around us or add a whole new dimension to how we communicate,” Takao Someya of the University of Tokyo stated. Researchers were seeking ways for the marking to last longer. At the time, they found a way for the tattoo to last for over a day, but now, the technology is permanent.
Chaotic Moon began the prototype for “biowearables” in 2015. CEO Ben Lamm admitted that the technology was initially developed for use on military members. “This is not something that can be easily removed like a Fitbit. It can be underneath a flack jacket, directly on the skin to be collecting this data and being reported back,” Lamm said of military applications. “We get to do a lot of cool stuff at Chaotic Moon but with this we think there’s military applications for it, health applications for it and there are all kinds of opportunities around it,” Lamm said.
“At the end of the day, there’s all sorts of firms out there like cell phone companies and drug companies and medical device companies that work through those processes,” Lamm told TechCrunch in 2015. “For us, we’re trying to start a conversation around ‘hey you’ve already had these types of data collection components on your body.’ A lot of times they are big, they are bulky and they can be limiting. Now we’re looking at changing and evolving with these other types of conductive ink.”
The ”human circuit board” has other uses and has rapidly developed in the past decade. Bill Gates began supporting the project with his endless funds. “Smartphones have been our digital lifelines…but their reign is nearing its end. Electronic tattoos are the next leap in personal tech,” Gates declared.
These devices are intended to replace the current financial system. Credit and debit cards will be stored on the device. I am not one to preach the concept of Revelations, but there is a clear connection to the ancient prophecy.
Revelation 13:16-17 states, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
