Internet Of Bodies: Creepy New Platform For Data Discovery

• https://www.technocracy.news By David Horrigan

In the Era of the Internet of Things, we've become (at least somewhat) comfortable with our refrigerators knowing more about us than we know about ourselves and our Apple watches transmitting our every movement. The Internet of Things has even made it into the courtroom in cases such as the hot tub saga of Amazon Echo's Alexa in State v. Bates and an unfortunate wife's Fitbit in State v. Dabate.

But the Internet of Bodies?

Yes, that's right. It's gone beyond the mere snooping of a smart TV. Data discovery has entered a new realm, and our bodies are the platform.

A January 5 program at the Annual Meeting of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) in New Orleans entitled, The Internet of Bodies: Cyborgs and the Law, discussed the legal, regulatory, and societal impact of this new living and breathing platform for data discovery.
