Kiss me - I want your phone number! (cool tech)

NTT, the Japanese communications company, has developed a technology called RedTacton, which it claims can send data over the surface of the skin at speeds of up to 2Mbps -- equivalent to a fast broadband data connection.

Using RedTacton-enabled devices, music from an MP3 player in your pocket would pass through your clothing and shoot over your body to headphones in your ears. Instead of fiddling around with a cable to connect your digital camera to your computer, you could transfer pictures just by touching the PC while the camera is around your neck. And since data can pass from one body to another, you could also exchange electronic business cards by shaking hands, trade music files by dancing cheek to cheek, or swap phone numbers just by kissing.

Jesus imagine the viruses you would catch on the subway.

"That guy touched me and then my MP3 player started screaming at me and my cell phone started making calls to Nigeria!"

Perhaps we'll walk around in giant condoms to protect against that.

I guess future pickpockets just need to touch you anywhere, and they could steal your credit numbers. Thats reassuring.
