Our transition to becoming cyborgs has officially begun.

MIT researchers have created tattoos that function as interfaces for smartphones and other digital devices. These tattoos can receive and send information, serving as wearable devices that add a personal touch of style.

 

The tattoos rely on gold leaf to sense a person's touch, heat a display and communicate with other devices. The tattoos can connect wirelessly with smartphones through NFC, a type of technology used for mobile payments at retailers and elsewhere. The tattoo is powered by a lithium polymer battery and the brains of the operation is a small computing chip.

The concept comes from Cindy Hsin-Liu Kao -- a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab -- that grew out of an internship at Microsoft Research last summer. Kao has envisioned an end of the one-size-fits-all world of wearables; one where everyone uses nearly identical smartphones or smartwatches.

This part concerns me. I can see hackers having this. 

As far as it turning into the mark ... prophecy says something will be the mark. Nothing can change that.

Yes, it is concerning. As far as the mark? Time will tell. But I am thinking it will be very popular knowing our world.
