Computer network through human body
You have heard of LAN,WAN et al.
But have you known a thing called HAN?
Yes, there is a path-breaking new technology called Human Area Networking.
Your body could soon be the backbone of a broadband personal data network capable of efficiently communicating to your cell phone, MP3 player, digital camera, laptop or printer.
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), at Tokyo is pursuing research and development of an innovative Human Area Networking technology called RedTacton that turns the skin of the human body into a data transmission vector and achieve speeds up to 10 Mbps between any two points on the body.

Now, electricity from urine!
That is pee-power for you! 
A paper battery that uses urine as its power source will soon be present in home testing kits for conditions such as diabetes.
Until now, such kits have required an additional power source, such as a lithium ion battery, but the new system uses the medium being tested (urine) to generate a potential difference.
Technology News reports:
Dr. Ki Bang Lee, who heads the research team at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore, said: “We are striving to develop cheap, disposable credit card-sized biochips for disease detection. Our battery can be easily integrated into such devices, supplying electricity upon contact with biofluids such as urine.”
This is how it works: Read more
