Vibrating tattoo

This sounds like something straight out of Blade Runner, but it’s absolutely true. A few years from now your mobile phone may no longer have a ringer. It won’t need it. Instead you’ll have a vibrating tattoo.

Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia has filed a patent for a device which would be embedded in your skin and use haptic feedback triggered by commands from your cell phone. Haptics are meant to appeal to your sensse of touch using vibrations in the skin. Nokia describes their new device this way:

Quote
…a material attachable to skin, the material capable of detecting a magnetic field and transferring a perceivable stimulus to the skin, wherein the perceivable stimulus relates to the magnetic field

So how soon until the phone implants?
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

What happens to your vibrating tattoo when the technology is outdated in 5 years?

If I remember my cyberpunk correctly you go on a psychotic rampage due to your having a single cosmetic implant.

I want an animated tattoo. Electrophoretic displays or something.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

Technically, goatse is a still image, so if it was at all hackable, it would've already been hacked.

And then when the hardware goes bad, they have to have their entire limb amputated and replaced with a different limb in order to get it fixed.
