Human bodies get connected to technology, not only in medicine. Sjoblad talks about his friends in the biohacker sphere and what they already do:
„One of my colleagues has a small LED underneath his skin, that illuminates his tattoo. Another one has a north sensor integrated into his breast. This sensor vibrates whenever he turns north. He now has the same navigation abilities than birds.“

Sjoblad himself has an implant. A NFC chip in his hand helps him to unlock his office or home and replaces his business cards. „I never run out of business cards, anybody can scan my contact data with a regular smartphone.“

But with the new technology, new risks apply as well: „My biggest fear is, that someone will clone my NFC chip and has access to all my office rooms etc.“ That’s why he still uses multiple other options to authenticate, like fingerprints or pin numbers.
