body hacker and turning other people
into superhumans and really getting
technology under your skin
people throughout the time throughout
history have always been upgrading their
bodies have overs used tools to augment
their senses to develop new capabilities
our ancestors have done that through
history of time we saw mechanical
upgrades right Leonardo DaVinci’s is
great inventions but of course then they
came the time where technology got yeah
more electrified it got a little bit
smarter people were working to upgrade
their bodies may be the first variables
here arm to get some super human powers
to get some force like never before
today
we’re in a world of digital
transformation Internet of Things we are
like digital beings right but still
technology is something we consider as
being outside of our body and I’m not
talking about medical um technology that
you need to wear in order to keep your
body in a good shape improving
augmenting your senses these days comes
in different forms you know Google glass
but there are no smart contact lenses
there’s artificial noses super powerful
smelling like every molecule we have
hearing devices that are meant you’re
hearing power can even turn them off not
hearing anything
we have artificial taste improving your
taste feel and also maybe most commonly
we are developing sensors to track how
many calories we burn how many steps
we’re taking
how much we sleep or not where we are
what our pulse is doing you know
variables are very popular in this but
for some people this is not enough and
they thinking on the minute wouldn’t it
be nice to have other senses and who
wants to wear all these devices that you
need to recharge every night all these
things that you need to manage in your
life so why not having sensors that for
instance let you feel elect the north
pole yeah electricity so where is north
so you are feeling in your chest when
you’re heading north you’re feeling a
like tingle the vibration when you feel
it and your body will learn this ancient
sensation about facing north like the
birds in the sky
so there’s implants doing that
getting an electromagnetic sense for
body hackers not a problem and we put
little magnets and our fingers friend of
mine has I think he has nine and so it’s
quite handy actually when you think
about where shall I put the hole in the
wall where’s the the cable you know the
wire and you can feel the electricity in
the wall you can you can actually feel
electromagnetic radiation when you’re in
front of a microwave I’m telling you
this gives you a lot of nice tingles and
just might start to dance other devices
why not developing a sense that let you
feel in time so how do we know time at
the moment because we look outside with
thee it’s it’s daylight it’s night or we
look at in our smartphone well watch is
so old-fashioned smartphone right why
not have a sort of clock device in our
body that changes temperature and when
it’s midday
it’s warm and when it’s really dark
night it’s very cold so your body learns
depending on the temperature and your
chest what time it is
there are other implants basically that
biohackers or body hackers put in their
bodies why not having the capability to
let your skin glow well why not put
something in you that is glowing for 12
years after six years half of the
glowing power is produced
of course it’s treats your base it’s
radioactive
but so what you know you just put it in
there and it glows are you it’s a hand
basically I don’t know if you can see it
it’s difficult to see but it’s a it’s an
implant in the hand that glows in the
dark but I’m sure you can see this for
people who is not enough you know you
put a little bit more in your body and
it glows even bigger who needs a
smartphone to turn on the torch if you
can wear that in your body yeah you can
see that that’s very good um of course
it’s a matter of taste not everyone
wants to be light up as a Christmas tree
even if you can do that these days but
there are other forms of implants giving
your body superpowers and I’m talking
about microchips computer microchips
that we put in our bodies and
experiments with what it means to have a
microchip in your body how is it
performing how is it working
what can you do and when I say a
microchip I actually mean a variety of
microchip so there is no one microchip
at all different frequencies different
functionalities for what you put in your
body usually people like me we put it in
our hands but there are also other
places people put it in the neck and
their arms in the hands here wherever
you want um I had once someone who
wanted to put it in their feet
you may think why because that person
didn’t had any arms anymore so
microchips is actually something that is
getting really really popular here I’m
on a Farah this year in Germany one of
the biggest IT fairs in the world in
three and a half days we upgraded about
122 people they were coming from all
over Europe to get a body upgrade
traveling around Europe basically
Austria Germany Italy I was in Russia
Ukraine was fantastic three weeks ago we
did some body upgrades in Romania and
yeah so this is happening basically all
over the world and also happening with
rising interest in Europe we asked you
may that there about 50 thousands of
people very microchips and plans at the
moment at least of the kind of microchip
that we are aware of and not something
what you might read anywhere else but
this is like yeah the kind of microchips
I’m talking about and then of course
when you hear that someone has a
microchip the first question the 99%
question is so and and I’m sure you all
have that in your mind why yeah
what do you what are you going to do
with this and why is this for and I have
a little video here for you that I put
together from people all around the
world using their implant in different
ways because to answer the question what
can you do with this is really difficult
it’s like a universal multi-purpose key
that you can use for any kind of
applications and let’s have a look at
the video I’m hope it’s starting so you
may want to use it for opening and
getting into your car for reading your
body temperature all right you just
skinned it public transportation yeah
why not get in there
unlocking your doors
who needs keys anymore you have a
motorcycle or you have a boat and you
jump into the ocean and don’t want to
carry your keys with you in the water
swimming there um just get a microchip
getting in and out of your house that’s
a common application fitness gyms
probably a lot of you are in a gym at
least in Germany we have these cards to
get in and out
who wants cards in the fitness gym back
get rid of it
opening your garage with your hand and
it’s so much easier right
other application is getting into a
stadium where you have maybe your you’d
get your your a year’s ticket in your
body unlocking your phone or having your
business card sharing your identity with
someone having old-fashioned paper
business cards is so last gen century
right doing some machine payments why
not
good yeah so they are like really a lot
of applications and people experience
every day around the world other forms
of applications what they’re using it
for they’re even now start-ups
developing certain third-party
applications around it here’s a startup
from Sweden Bitcoin trance transactions
thank you payment complete and who needs
an old-fashioned smartphone when you
board an airplane if you can simply
swipe your hand well just you know
um what you saw here is really just the
beginning
um it is like a movement of Technology
moving into the body let’s think about
something else we could do with it maybe
in the
future ahead of time is the motto of
this Tet so let’s have a look
no more keys at all keys the concept of
keys are about 2700 years old
open Pompeii they found the first keys
we call ourself digital being somehow
who ones keys no one you lose them they
steal back get rid of them no more
plastic ID cards hi policeman you want
to see my driver license scan my hand
and the policeman scans a hand get the
data and when it’s shift is over and he
gets home access to your information –
that information is locked because now
someone else a different policeman maybe
is on the shift so lessons fraud coupon
cars you all know this problem every
shop you are going they have this
customer loyalty programs right and you
can collect points everywhere and you
know you do collect coins no I have no
more room in my wallet for more cards ah
just swipe your hand evil it connected
with your bank cards we are already
paying digital right why not using our
hands to identify us this is turning
healthcare information this is a really
a big problem with healthcare providers
with insurance companies around the
world getting all your medical data and
because of that people are getting
missed treatments they’re getting the
wrong medication it causes a lot of
money across and why not story a medical
profiles on your implants that you have
everything with you in case something
happening I see in cages the case of
emergency we can think about password
logins and encryption generation I mean
you all know this right
we have even this hacking presentations
a little bit earlier today you have to
think about new passwords all the time
not only for new applications but then
for you know you should change it every
three month and when you are no longer
Facebook member how are you going to log
in to Spotify because Spotify is connect
to your facebook accounts and so on that
why should know Facebook that I’m a
Spotify listener get rid of that
generate the passwords in your body
smart homes our homes getting smarter
and smarter that’s nice that the house
knows where I am and the music follows
me through the room but what is
happening if I have a big family how
shall the house know who’s in which room
and who’s sitting on what toilet and
things like this just wave your hand and
the toilet knows who’s sitting there and
can analyze your morning urine universal
public transportation anti-theft
smartphones yeah they can steal it but
they cannot use anything at all with it
anymore even if they know your password
or they can copy your fingerprint um
they cannot do anything be course to
open it to UNCHR opit you need a body
implant as these are all scenarios we
can imagine that can happen in the
future and thinking about the future
well the future is here we call it flex
implants so these are like paper-thin
implants they have nothing to do anymore
with this round once I add early on so
they are like you just lift the skin and
slide it under it’s very easy and you
have everything that you need um well
that’s me getting the first one in my
body trying we were experimenting
basically with what’s the best form of
getting it under your skin it was still
a little bit painful I must say but
that’s the price you have to pay the
next generation is not painful at all
anymore and when I talk about next
generation well the next generation is
here probably next year onwards you’re
all able to get these kinds of implants
into your body allowing for that
functions we will keys basically as
they’re called they allow for payment
transactions ticketing access control
what really is interesting about it they
are made for security so usually these
days you store your passwords on your
laptop right so they are somewhere in
your laptop and your smartphone on your
PC there’s a drawer with information
that says this password typed in yes
it’s correct so and that’s hackable but
when you generate the passwords in your
body with your implants you cannot be
hacked anymore it’s a highly security
way of merging your digital with your
biological and identity and gaining back
the control of your data we just but
there was just a study released and it
was amazing because you might think oh
this is not for me but that’s not the
question interesting enough about 66
I think 70% of all teenagers between 15
and 18 say but I can imagine getting an
implant if that enhances my digital
experience that was a global study so
technology is getting smaller and moving
more into the body this generation we
call them generations see the connected
generation they don’t feel themselves as
humans anymore they also feel that there
are some sort of digital beings and
they’re looking for new ways to enhance
the digital existence new ways for
digital experience and that’s the
generation getting in touch with the
next generation of implants but what
about an even younger generation they
see with their mommies and daddies
they’re not using Kies anymore they’re
doing pretty cool stuff with the hands
why they haven’t got a clue our kids at
the moment usually they grow up with
parents you know using smart phones and
a tablet and when they are one and a
half years old they know how to unlock
it and play see them a street or
whatever with it but then you know
copying their parents for them it’s
normal and when they are going to drop
out of university 15 16 years
now let’s look into the future what
could be the future and 15 16 or 20
years I’m talking about brain implants
brain implants that are connected to the
cortex of your brain brain to brain
communication as possible you lock your
brain into the Internet you think you
share emotions you don’t need a laptop
anymore you don’t need to write emails
who wants that no one you just think a
thought and you’ll be loved one knows
that you think about them and
understands the message brain to brain
communication you need to know something
Google on the brain just you know
connect yourself to the Internet with
your brain and plants and you get the
information you want to be 10 times more
intelligent or a thousand times more
intelligence and about 10 years
microchips are about a thousand times
more powerful than today if you have
that in your brain your brain is that
powerful
so intelligence can be scalable living
in a virtual world you think that your
avatar your robot of you is going
somewhere else you think it and it’s
actually doing it because your avatar
your robot is connected to your brain
implants and finally wouldn’t it be
great not to forget anything anymore
it’s like having a hard drive no not a
hard drive hard drive is so
old-fashioned no it’s something in the
cloud you know no one understands the
cloud but it’s there your information of
your life is there not only that you
will remember to do cross rough
reference so what was the weather like
like three and a half years ago and how
did I feel on that day what did I have
to eat and maybe there’s a correlation
so this is the kind of future we are
looking into of course it’s a prediction
it’s a vision but technology is moving
on we are becoming not only
Internet of Things why things we are
becoming connected humans and this is
going to change everything
the
we live it’s going to change our entire
planet and my message to you is to
finish we need to discuss the
implications of this in order to make
the right decisions now so that we are
prepared for the future of our children
for the superhumans thank
