You Might Soon Become The Battery That Powers Your Own Devices

Here's a fact about your body: it already generates enough energy to power any wearables, medical sensors, or implanted device you might need or want. The problem has always been a lack of efficient methods to harness this energy, a challenge that scientists may be close to solving. The result is a reality where your own body can act as the battery for all sorts of devices. The emerging terms used to describe this field are "electroceuticals" or "biobatteries."

Using movement in this way is undeniably smart. If they are really studying human behaviour, though, they should probably start by figuring out how to maximize the transfer of energy produced from a thumb scrolling a touch screen. Then when you spend too much time on social media, you can at least justify to yourself that you did something useful at the same time.
