Changing Reality on the NET

This technology is going down an interesting path- The ability to data from person to person using electromagnetic modems through touch. As this technology improves I imagine it will be extended to several yards as our bodies actually create an electromagnetic field that extends to about 15 feet.

The implications to society and how we interact are amazing. Transferring data, sharing business card information by simply shaking hands, and knowing who you saw and being able to log it each day in your computer to name a few short possibilities.

From a product standpoint however, Bluetooth has already enabled us to create miniature devices capable of relaying information to individuals... so the true viability of this technology comes from whether or not it will provide new ways of interaction (why limit transmission to touch, when I can do it at fifteen feet via Bluetooth?)
