In reply to Intel Developing Power Harvesting for Personal Devices, Could See It in as Little as Two Years
I think this would be an amazing benefit in creating energy that makes our planet cleaner almost making energy out of preexisting sources that have not been tapped before, buuuut there is a huge part of me (the freaked out, wear an aluminum hat, big brother is conspiring against me part) that wonders what could potentially be enormous problems also created with this. My first reaction was how this thing could possibly be sucking the life out of us because we all are giving off energy, ie kinetic, heat, etc. What about someone who has a pace maker or a robotic prosthetic? Would it be zapping the life right out your warm (heat) hand as you're talking on your phone?

Does it come with cancer?
