Imagine replacing your iPhone with… ink. According to Microsoft founder Bill Gates, that’s where the future is headed. He says electronic tattoos could soon take over as the next big thing — ditching screens and turning your skin into a smart device.
These aren’t your average tattoos. We're talking tiny subdermal sensors developed by a company called Chaotic Moon. The idea? You wear the tech on your body, and it does everything from making calls to tracking your health — all without lifting a finger.
In recent interviews, Gates explained how these tattoos could serve as our primary way of communicating, connecting to the internet, and even monitoring vital signs. Basically, it’s like if your Fitbit and your iPhone had a baby and it lived under your skin.
Other tech giants like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are also jumping on the body-tech bandwagon. But not everyone’s on board — Apple CEO Tim Cook says “nah,” and thinks we’re not quite ready to ditch screens just yet.
Still, the idea is gaining momentum, and if you hate carrying a phone but don’t mind a little ink, this could be your sci-fi future made real.
So… would you get a tattoo that lets you answer FaceTime with your wrist?
