Geek
and self-proclaimed "biohacker" Tim Cannon is the first human being
to have a non-medical computer implanted inside his body. It's called the
Circadia 1.0, and this smartphone-sized computer was implanted in Tim's forearm
without the aid of anesthetic or even a licensed doctor.
Circadia 1.0
was designed to gather biometric data and transmit the information back to an
Android-powered mobile device, making Tim Cannon the first Do-It-Yourself
cyborg.
In
the future, Cannon can envision his flesh-mounted computer serving as a
biometric hub, communicating with his smart devices and connected home.
If he can pull that off, what has begun as a Frankenstein-esque marriage of flesh and sensors just might end up as the first integration of a human being into the internet of things.
