Tired of losing your cell phone? What could be easier than just typing a few numbers into your arm to talk to a good friend?

That scenario might come true if this futuristic design for a Bluetooth cell phone that uses a light-up a tattoo panel on the user's forearm goes into production.

Yes, the day we turn into cyborgs with supercomputers implanted in our bodies is fast approaching.

Here's how it would work: First, a flexible device is inserted subcutaneously into a small incision. Then the surface of the implant interacts with the tattoo made partly of field-sensitive fluid that lights up when stimulated. (Alright, that part kinda confuses us, too.)

The power comes from a fuel converter that takes energy out of the user's bloodstream in the form of oxygen and glucose. And it's not just a phone -- the arm tattoo can communicate with other Bluetooth devices throughout the body, and it constantly monitors for blood disorders.

Yeah, OK, it's just a prototype. But if you think the world of "Minority Report" is still fantasy, you may be surprised.

Question raised: Would you get a phone put in your arm?
