"Richard J. Sullivan, Applied Digital Solutions' chairman and CEO, waxed eloquent about the market potential of Digital Angel, claiming the company has "uncovered a total marketplace that is conservatively estimated to exceed $70 billion."

Digital Angel is powered electromechanically through muscle movement, or it can be activated by an outside monitoring facility.

As WorldNetDaily has reported, in addition to locating missing persons and monitoring physiological data, Digital Angel will be marketed as a means of verifying online consumer identity for the burgeoning e-commerce world."

And in an interview last March, the chief scientist, Zhou, told WorldNetDaily he believes the implant will be as popular as cell phones and vaccines.

Digital Angel "will be a connection from yourself to the electronic world. It will be your guardian, protector. It will bring good things to you," said Zhou.

"We will be a hybrid of electronic intelligence and our own soul," he added.



REJOICE CONSUMERS, THEY WILL KNOW WHAT YOU DESIRE, WHAT YOU DO AND WILL DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO SELL IT TO YOU!

It may well be a device that can improve my grandfather's quality of care/life and provide security for my elderly grandmother and others who have been caring for him!

So to those that immediately jumped all over the negative... please be a bit more sensitive and consider those (and their families) that have to deal with this destructive and debilitating disease!

Have some compassion and think about what you post about innovations that might offer hope to those suffering!

Yes... there are boors that are all worried about privacy, etc, but all technology has the potential to be used for both "good" & "bad" reasons... and everyone’s' views on what is good & bad differ. If things are kept in perspective and ethics are kept in strongly in the forefront, these inventions and advancements have an opportunity to provide hope and safety while research continues towards understanding and finding a cure for this disease!

With attitudes like some that have posted... I wouldn't be surprised if "karma" comes back and serves you a little taste of your "own medicine" in your old age and perhaps your hands will be that old hand like the one in the picture... unable to type stupidity out anymore… and you’ll be begging for technology and devices that will help you retain that memory that slips away on you, or helps you cope when the frustration of those experiences overwhelms you.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/06/07/columba-gsm-gps-bracelet-helps-alzheimers-patients/http://www.engadget.com/2005/06/07/columba-gsm-gps-bracelet-helps-alzheimers-patients/
