Can you imagine what some people might pay for a tattoo that lights up? Or flashes? -- John

The piezo speakers works well on just ordinary skin , it's audible and only takes a tiny amount of current. Well I DO like the idea of a light up tatoo, perhaps someone can design an inductive loop under the skin to power it up? We could be colour coded according to our preferences... I got into a bit of bother when I first invented device : http://technology.guardian.co.uk/online/news/0,12597,1254911,00.html So I'm filing no patents on it, just putting the idea into the public domain for the possible benefit of art, research and fun! I prefer to share ideas rather than make money from them.

I now understand the purpose of "Organic Leds"... Just a matter of time before all mankind will be fitted with standardized audio / video inputs. The rear base of the scull seems a good place... (A blue pill anyone?) -- - Ren�

Nobody will ever have to go anywhere! Or care! =:-O Thanks! RIch
