Imagine you are late to work, you rush out the door and glance at your wrist - instead of
a watch on your arm, you see the active pigments changing in a small part of your skin, just below the surface,
which display the current date and time. I envision the technology used to
make "paper displays"
could be used on skin as well.

Sure -- Push the third freckle and the watch becomes an instant messenger. Keep track of all of your appointments. |
|
| |
The next freckle activates the ActiveMap display. It ties into the GPS system so that you can always tell where you are. |
|
| |
Be careful of the scar. You push the scar and it automatically switches to 220 volts which your wrist just can't handle. |

Hmmm. It's Ok, but not that great. |

Great Idea! That way I wouldn't have my pants constantly falling down from the weight of all my gadgets...(Cell phone, PDA, Pager, etc...) |

Larry Niven, in one of his science fiction short stories, mentions an implantable watch, the LEDs (or analogous) of which show through the skin. |

I was looking into ways of doing this a couple of years ago. The main downfall is that most liquid crystal tech has rare earth metals in and tend to kill the skin around them. Best bet for display are the new bio-illumenesent plastics being researched. |
