In summary, BT futurologist Ian Pearson warns against the potential risks of wearing smart make-up that can be controlled by electronics, as it could make one vulnerable to hacking. However, the technology for "smart fabrics" is already here, thanks to advances in nano- and micro-engineering, allowing for the creation of stronger, faster, and more efficient devices and systems. In the future, this technology could potentially lead to a world where humans have expanded consciousness and multiple bodies through assimilation.

... "If you are wearing smart make-up, where electronics are controlling the appearance, you don't want people hacking in and writing messages on your forehead" - (BT futurologist Ian Pearson)...

...Yet this technology is already upon us. ...These "smart fabrics" have come about through advances in nano- and micro-engineering - the ability to manipulate and exploit materials at micro or molecular scale.

At the nanoscale, materials can be "tuned" to display unusual properties that can be exploited to build faster, lighter, stronger and more efficient devices and systems. [continued]

If i become the first borg, and assimilate everyone else, then i have an expanded consciousness, with many bodies as limbs... :approve:
