Nokia has filed a US patent application
for a magnetic vibrating tattoo. The tattoo would be connected wirelessly to a cell phone, laptop, music player, tablet, or a game console.
It would vibrate to let you know about texts, emails, phone calls, battery status, and more. Different vibrations would let you know which you were being notified about.
The patent says the device could potentially be tattooed, stamped, sprayed,
attached with adhesive tape, applied as a decal, or even drawn on.
Benefits to the device would be the ability to never worry that you'd miss a message. But there does seem to be many negatives. Those who say cell phones cause cancer are sure to jump on the possibility that the mark would cause cancer. What if you can't turn it off? What if someone else's phone sets yours off? And how awkward would it be if you could see someone's vibrate?
