Smart Holograms Used as Biosensors

Roland Piquepaille writes "In this short article, eWEEK writes that the next generation of biosensors will consist of small holograms costing only fractions of a cent. Prototypes developed by a U.K. company, aptly named Smart Holograms, include contact lenses that monitor glucose levels or thin badges that detect alcohol levels. Not only these holograms used as sensors will be cheap to produce, they'll also require less training for nurses or police officers. This is because these holograms can be designed to show results graphically, such as morphing into an image of a green car if someone subjected to breath analysis is sober and can drive. Read this overview for other details and an illustration showing how to create a sensor hologram."

    You probably won't have to take the hologram test, unless driving drunk is now terrorism? Oh Good Fucking Lordy, I'm about to ram my car into the WTC2. Good fucking God! Allah/Aladdin/Yebus please save my drunk ass! Also never under any circumstances take the breathalizer test. Unless you don't need a license. Sure you'll get interrogated for a few hours and have to sit in jail for a day, but who cares? That's nothing compared to DWI.
