Ok i'm snob enough to say that i had this idea of a device that requires sending data through the body .Then i recalled 10 years ago there was a project at MIT about a protocol to exchange presenentation or visit cards with a physical handshake .
So i decided to do a web search on the matter .An my surpprise ,the thing has gotten big
Microsoft ,IBM ,Matsushita all have patents on similar devices capable of sending data an receiveing data throgh the human body !

"I recently acquired my own in-body device -- a pacemaker -- but it takes a special radio frequency connector to interface to it. As more and more implants go into bodies, the need for a good Internet Protocol connection increases."
Gordon Bell, a senior researcher at Microsoft's Bay Area Research Center in San Francisco
Your body could soon be the backbone of a broadband personal data network linking your mobile phone or MP3 player to a cordless headset, your digital camera to a PC or printer, and all the gadgets you carry around to each other.
These personal area networks are already possible using radio-based technologies, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or just plain old cables to connect devices. But NTT, the Japanese communications company, has developed a technology called RedTacton, which it claims can send data over the surface of the skin at speeds of up to 2Mbps -- equivalent to a fast broadband data
