"Technological devices and the human body are no strangers. From glasses to hearing aids to pacemakers, we’ve been wearing, ingesting and implanting technology for decades. But soon, these devices will have the capacity to completely merge with the body while maintaining a real-time connection to an external machine. CNBC explains the “Internet of Bodies.”
"The first generation is external. Things like smartwatches or rings, which use sensors to track our steps and heart rate. Or smart glasses, which function as cameras, headphones and monitors.
The second generation is internal. These are devices you ingest or have implanted. Think of pacemakers with digital implants, smart prosthetics hardwired into patients’ nerves and muscles... or even digital pills that transmit medical data after being ingested.
Finally, there’s the third generation. These devices completely merge with the body while maintaining a real-time connection to an external machine and the internet."
"The coin-sized chip is implanted under the skull, where it can read a person’s brain signals and allow them to control an external machine."
