"Cell phone company Nokia has issued a patent for a material that could be attached to human skin and would vibrate to alert the wearer of an incoming call or text message."...The procedure is identical to that of getting a 'normal' tattoo—only the ink is special."
This seems so bizarre and creepy to me, but I don't like regular tattoos either. What do you think? Cool and functional or creepy and intrusive? Would you get one?
I wanna get a real tattoo but I would never get this Nokia tattoo. As much of a geek as I am I don't wanna be THAT connected to my technology. I think people are too attached to their stupid ****ing phones as it is.
Interesting that 17 responses so far and not one "yes." You would imagine that Nokia would have done some research on the popularity of this before applying for a patent; but maybe not. Maybe its just a publicity stunt kind of thing...

Maybe they figure it's one of those "the people just don't realize they want it" type of things. I just don't see the utility, I can almost always feel my phone vibrating. Maybe if you work somewhere where you wear a lot of padded gear or something... idk. But then wouldn't something like a vibrating ring you put on your finger work just as well?

About as dumb as those ear pieces. "Take me to your leader".
