Have you ever said you were going to take your medicine and didn't? Well, you may not only have Mom to answer to...according to CNET.com researchers at the University of FL have created pill capsules that boast microchips and digestible antennas!! Yes, a bit different, to say the least. The researchers say the pill was developed to monitor whether patients are taking their medication. In my opinion I think it may be taking things a little too far, but I think this is the way of the future and we're going to see much more of this as time goes on. Its just that little bit more of your privacy that the government is taking away from people that bothers me. However, its getting some good response from heavy hitters such as the American Heart Association, who state the #1 problem with treating illness today is failure to take prescriptions correctly. The association thinks this may be a way to change that. BUT, its all up to the consumer...what do you think?
