From the extra creepy department of Wired, we have a story that may interest you. <a href=http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71087-0.html?tw=rss.index>A Sixth Sense for a Wired World</a> mentions that people who have had a magnet implanted into their hands can feel and detect activity in electrical devices such as hard drives and security scanners at stores.

Todd Huffman, a graduate student at Arizona State University with a background in neuroscience, joined the project and brainstormed with Jarrell and Haworth about how, and where, to best implant a powerful magnet. He helped come up with the most effective design for an implant, and eventually became the first recipient. "The fingertip was chosen because of the high nerve density, and because the hands are constantly interacting with the environment, increasing the chances of sensing electromagnetism in the world," Huffman says.

This is only the beginning...
