Software magnate, investor and philanthropist Bill Gates has become a kind of guru of the new realities in which humanity lives. Now the Microsoft co-founder has predicted a new kind of technology that will replace smartphones, among other things.
It is not the first time that Gates dares to make predictions, as he showed when he talked about a new pandemic that will attack humanity, now the author and lecturer has talked about an electronic tattoo.
According to Bill Gates, what technology will replace smartphones?
The billionaire businessman refers to the electronic tattoos developed by the company Chaotic Moon, a technology based on biotechnology that aims to analyze and collect information from the human body.
Among the data that this tattoo will store, first of all, there is talk of medical and sports information, with which it will be possible to prevent and control diseases, as well as improve physical and sports performance based on vital signs.
How will the electronic tattoo be applied to people?
Although the electronic tattoo is still in the development stage, it is known that it will be temporarily applied to the skin and contain small sensors and trackers that send and receive information via a special ink that conducts electricity.
Gates wants electronic tattoos to replace smartphones
However, the initial introduction of electronic tattoos is not enough for Bill Gates. He wants this futuristic device to replace today's smartphones.
Gates' idea, which has been featured in several Hollywood movies, is that people can use the electronic tattoo developed by Chaotic Moon to make phone calls, send messages or look up an address.
Although it's not yet possible to give an approximate date for the availability of the electronic tattoo, Gates and his team are looking to make it the new device that people use to do many of the things they do on smartphones.
