The age of smartphones is coming to an end. A bold prediction from Bill Gates reveals a revolutionary new tech set to replace your phone forever.
In a bold prediction that’s making waves across the tech world, Microsoft founder Bill Gates has suggested that smartphones could soon be obsolete, replaced by an entirely new kind of technology. Forget everything you know about handheld devices—Gates envisions a future where electronic tattoos become the new norm.
The Decline of Smartphones
Smartphones have been an indispensable part of our lives for over a decade. From checking emails to scrolling through social media and navigating our daily routines, these devices have shaped how we interact with the world. But Gates believes this era is nearing its end. According to Medium, Gates points to electronic tattoos, developed by Chaotic Moon and later acquired by Accenture, as the next big leap in personal technology. Instead of holding a phone in our hands, these tattoos could allow us to communicate, access the internet, and even monitor our health, all without a screen in sight.
The key advantage? These tattoos are integrated into the body. Imagine having a device embedded in your skin that lets you interact with the world through simple gestures or touch. It’s sleek, unobtrusive, and possibly more intuitive than anything we’ve seen so far. The tattoos are powered by tiny nanocapacitors, and they don’t require bulky batteries or displays, making them a far more subtle alternative to today’s mobile devices.

How Do These Tattoos Work?
You might be wondering, “What exactly are electronic tattoos?” Well, think of them as temporary skin applications that use smart ink filled with nanocapacitors. These tattoos can communicate with surrounding devices, letting you do things like send messages, browse the web, or even unlock doors—all with a simple swipe or gesture.
Beyond communication, these tattoos could also monitor vital signs like your heart rate, body temperature, and even detect potential health issues before they become serious. They are, in essence, a health tracker and a communication tool rolled into one. And the best part? They’re invisible, meaning no more holding a phone or carrying a bulky device around. It’s a seamless experience where technology becomes a part of you, not something you carry.
The Big Questions: Privacy, Security, and Ethics
As exciting as this sounds, it raises some serious questions about privacy. These tattoos would collect an immense amount of personal data, from your location to your health metrics. Who owns this data? How do we ensure it’s protected? These are the kinds of ethical dilemmas that are bound to crop up as we move closer to this kind of technology.
Moreover, imagine the security risks. With biometric data stored on your skin, could someone hack into your tattoo or steal your identity in new and more dangerous ways? Digital security could take on a whole new meaning, as cybercriminals may look for ways to exploit this deeply integrated tech.
Still, there are undeniable advantages. The tattoos could replace the need for passwords, credit cards, or even physical keys. In theory, they could provide a level of security that’s far more robust than anything we have today, thanks to their biometric uniqueness.
A Revolution in Wellness
Another fascinating aspect of electronic tattoos is their potential to change how we think about health and wellness. The ability to monitor heart rate, sleep patterns, and other critical health markers continuously could help us catch potential health issues before they become urgent. In a world where wellness tech is rapidly evolving, these tattoos could provide more accurate, real-time health data than any current wearable.
But there’s also the social impact to consider. If these tattoos become mainstream, it could mean the end of screen addiction. Without the constant distraction of staring at a smartphone screen, we might experience a more focused, less fragmented interaction with technology. This shift could fundamentally alter our social behavior and even how we relate to one another.
However, this also brings up another issue: the social divide. How accessible would this technology be? If only certain groups have access to it, the digital divide could become even more pronounced.

There are studies that put the amount of time you are aware after decapitation from 30 seconds to brainwaves being still detected for up to 30 minutes.
Might not hurt, but it isn't instant.
“He just can’t get over Steve Jobs kicked his ass....”
That was close to my first thought, too. But you said it better. I was thinking more along the lines of “Let’s see what Steve Jobs has to say about this.”
“Gates envisions a future where electronic tattoos become the new norm.”

Checks to see if this is the Babylon Bee.
“At which point, people’s frontal lobes will begin to atrophy.”
I read an article where it was talking about all of the information that we are already bombarded with in the modern day. I forget the results of the tests but they weren’t good. Actually seeing changes in brain function.
However - spending some period of time away from devices and stuff was able to heal the brain. Like quiet time of “meditation” (prayer!) or nature walks without music or your phone. And focusing on the present (like how pretty the woods are, etc.) rather than thinking about everything else.
there is also an emerging field of neuroplasticity and brain retraining, which can actually help improve one’s health.
And prayer/meditation, getting out in nature, walks, listening to music, focusing on something that involves manual dexterity that means actually putting down the device and doing something.
Mark of the Gates
Hahaha, fair point.
I knew this was trolling BS before I read the third paragraph.
It’s very sad that so many FReepers believe this fake news.
Mark of the beast!!!!
Not just NO,
But
OH H3LL NO!!!
I was imagining more of a Star Trek style communicator badge. Maybe a heads-up display.
Bill Gates Microsoft Patent ending with the numbers “060606”:
Title
“(EN) CRYPTOCURRENCY SYSTEM USING BODY ACTIVITY DATA”
https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606
Abstract
“(EN) Human body activity associated with a task provided to a user may be used in a mining process of a cryptocurrency system. A server may provide a task to a device of a user which is communicatively coupled to the server. A sensor communicatively coupled to or comprised in the device of the user may sense body activity of the user. Body activity data may be generated based on the sensed body activity of the user. The cryptocurrency system communicatively coupled to the device of the user may verify if the body activity data satisfies one or more conditions set by the cryptocurrency system, and award cryptocurrency to the user whose body activity data is verified.”

What do the girls use?
You hate facts. You bring in nonsense. Do you even know a thing about the Bible? Obviously not if you are petrified of going to hell over a tattoo.
Bill likes him some tattoos! He’s been in the works for a while now.
He wants them to track people who take experimental and deadly injections they market out to the world’s population.

“Bill Gates, MIT Develop New ‘Tattoo ID’ to Check For Vaccinations”
“As tattoos continue to become more mainstreamed among certain demographics within society, it should come as little surprise that big pharma is keen to roll out this latest “wearable tech” solution.
To make sure that you’ve had all of your required doses of government mandated vaccines, scientists at MIT have created a new ink which can be embedded in the skin which can be read using a special infra-red smart phone camera app.
The invisible “tattoo” accompanying the vaccine is a pattern made up of minuscule quantum dots — tiny semiconducting crystals that reflect light — that glows under infrared light. The pattern — and vaccine — gets delivered into the skin using hi-tech dissolvable microneedles made of a mixture of polymers and sugar.”
The research groups findings were published this week in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
“In other words, they’ve found a covert way to embed the record of a vaccination directly in a patient’s skin rather than documenting it electronically or on paper — and their low-risk tracking system could greatly simplify the process of maintaining accurate vaccine records, especially on a larger scale.”
“In areas where paper vaccination cards are often lost or do not exist at all, and electronic databases are unheard of, this technology could enable the rapid and anonymous detection of patient vaccination history to ensure that every child is vaccinated,” said MIT researcher Kevin McHugh.
More interesting though is how useful this new technology will be from a corporate point of view, downstream tech such as this will make production and distribution more efficient upstream, as vaccine manufactures can more efficiently identify who needs which product.
Essentially, this is new tech which can allow public administrators, law enforcement and corporate employers, to check within seconds to make sure that you are “safe” to be around,” and do not pose ‘a danger to the rest of the community.’
Interestingly, the funding for this new vaccine tattoo technology has come from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded the team’s research.
“According to a Scientific American story, the project came about following a direct request from Microsoft founder Bill Gates himself, who has been personally involved in efforts to eradicate polio and measles through vaccinations.”
Using tattoos for the administration of vaccine products is not new however, and most likely MIT and the Gates family were inspired by a program started more than 10 years ago, in which a group of German scientists began work using tattoos on mice as means to deliver a new generation of experimental DNA vaccines, specifically with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine...”
