TEKNOLOGI TANDA BINATANG: SISTEM PEMBAYARAN DENGAN TATTO SEGERA DI MULAI
Sistem pembayaran mobile yang kita kenal sekarang ini telah melalui perjalanan yang panjang.
Pertama kali muncullah uang tunai, dan kemudian cek dan giro. Kartu-kartu ATM dan Kartu Kredit kemudian mulai menggantikannya, dan selanjutnya berganti menjadi SMS banking, mobile banking dan internet banking, dan yang paling baru sekarang ini melalui perangkat-perangkat yang dapat dipasang pada tubuh manusia.
Ada banyak keluhan mengenai perangkat-perangkat yang dipasang pada tubuh ini, misalnya terlalu kikuk untuk benar-benar digunakan, dan itu nampaknya mendorong beberapa pengembang dan pemakai untuk mencari platform sistem yang baru: sistem pembayaran mobile dengan menggunakan tattoo unik.
Hasil produk kerjasama antara MC10, sebuah firma kesehatan, dan PCH, firma desain solusi produk, hasil akhirnya adalah serangkaian perangkat yang begitu tipis dan fleksibel.
MC10 dan PCH mengumumkan pada hari Selasa, 12 April 2016, bahwa mereka telah menandatangani kesepakatan kerjasama untuk mendesain perangkat yang tidak mencolok, fleksibel, mudah diregang dan sekali pakai, yang dapat digunakan oleh konsumen secara langsung di kulit mereka. Scott Pomerantz, presiden dan CEO MC10, menjelaskan bahwa dua perusahaan ini menggabungkan keahlian untuk memungkinkan mereka menyempurnakan Platform Perangkat Stempel Interaktif MC10, yang aslinya didesain untuk memonitor tanda-tanda vital pasien, dan memberikan laporan terakhir.
Ini bukan pertama kalinya perangkat seperti ini diperkenalkan; kembali kepada CES 2016 (Consumer Electronic Show), MC10 bekerjasama dengan L'Oreal memperkenalkan perangkat kulit yang dikenal sebagai BioStamp Research Connect.
Perangkat ini terdiri dari banyak perangkat standar yang ada dalam ponsel pintar, termasuk giroskop dan akselerometer, dan bonus-bonus lain seperti elektrokardiogram dan sistem respon kulit galvanic.
Dengan jenis teknologi seperti ini, dimungkinkan untuk memasang sistem NFC (near-field communication) yang memungkinkan suatu pembayaran dapat dilakukan antara perangkat ini dengan terminal-terminal yang ada di toko-toko atau supermarket. Ini dibuat semakin mudah, dimana pemakainya tidak lagi perlu khawatir lupa membawa dompet atau HP, maupun untuk mengingat-ingat nomer pin atau password.
Desain perangkat seperti ini sangat mirip dengan yang dikenal oleh komunitas Kristen, yang hampir pasti memandang hal-hal seperti ini sebagai "Tanda Binatang," sistem yang sudah dinubuatkan di dalam Alkitab kira-kira 2000 tahun yang lalu.
Sementara tidak dibutuhkan waktu lama bagi yang lainnya untuk menunjukkan itu, karena penggunaan wajib sistem ini untuk membeli atau menjual, dan sistem perangkat berbasis tattoo belumlah diharuskan, ini bukanlah Tanda Binatang yang sebenarnya, ini mungkin terlalu mirip dan akan menarik sejumlah besar masyarakat dunia modern untuk menggunakannya. Sistem-sistem seperti ini nampaknya memang dipersiapkan untuk memudahkan orang-orang, supaya ketika tiba waktunya Tanda Binatang itu diwajibkan penggunaannya, mereka dengan mudah akan menerimanya.
Wahyu 13:16-17 (ILT)
Dan dia membuat semua orang, kecil dan besar, juga kaya dan miskin, bahkan merdeka dan hamba, supaya dia memberikan kepada mereka sebuah tanda pada tangan kanan mereka atau pada dahi mereka. Dan supaya setiap orang tidak dapat membeli atau menjual, kecuali dia yang mempunyai tanda atau nama binatang itu atau bilangan namanya.

Mark Of The Beast Technology Heads For Overdrive—Future Payments Systems To Be Tattooed On Your Hand
Mobile payment systems have come a long way. First there was cash, and then checks. Cards stepped in next, and the cards migrated to phones, and now most recently we have wearable devices. There have been complaints about the wearables being too clunky to really be used, however, and that’s leaving some users looking forward to the next platform: a mobile payment system built around a unique tattoo. The product of a partnership agreement between MC10, a healthcare firm, and a product solution design firm known as PCH, the end result will produce a set of wearable devices so thin and flexible that it can be applied directly to the skin. Stretchable and disposable, the end result is to be based on MC10’s Wearable Interactive Stamp Platform, which itself was originally designed as a means to monitor patients’ vital signs, at last report.

A Tattoo-Based Mobile Payment System May Be Coming
Mobile payment systems have come a long way.
First there was cash, and then checks. Cards stepped in next, and the cards migrated to phones, and now most recently we have wearable devices.
There have been complaints about the wearables being too clunky to really be used, however, and that’s leaving some users looking forward to the next platform: a mobile payment system built around a unique tattoo.
The product of a partnership agreement between MC10, a healthcare firm, and a product solution design firm known as PCH, the end result will produce a set of wearable devices so thin and flexible that it can be applied directly to the skin.
Stretchable and disposable, the end result is to be based on MC10’s Wearable Interactive Stamp Platform, which itself was originally designed as a means to monitor patients’ vital signs, at last report.
This isn’t the first time something like this has come out, though; back at CES 2016, MC10 looked to L’Oreal to bring out a skin-mounted wearable known as the BioStamp Research Connect.
This device contained many standard devices found in mobile phones, including gyroscope and accelerometer, as well as some unexpected bonuses like an electrocardiogram and galvanic skin response system.
With this kind of technology, it might be possible to install a near-field communications (NFC) system that allows payments to be made between the device and terminals in stores.
However, right out of the gate, this design will have serious problems with its image.
It strikes very close to home in some Christian populations, who will almost certainly see this kind of things as the “Mark of the Beast,” a system warned against in the Bible.
While it won’t take long for others to point out that that system obligates use in order to buy or sell, and since a wearable tattoo-based system isn’t compulsory, it can’t really be the Mark, it might just hit too close for a large number of users to be interested in.
Still, the idea is interesting enough—particularly if its sewn into a shirtsleeve or the like instead—and may well represent a major advance in wearable payments technology.

Coming Soon: Tattoo Payments
If there’s one thing the current generation of wearables and its flagship product, the Apple Watch, get dinged for, it’s clunky, cumbersome and sometimes downright uncool product design. However, a collaboration between two startups might dispose of the need for unsightly hardware — or really hardware at all.
Health tech firm MC10 and custom product solution design group PCH announced on Tuesday (April 12) that they signed an agreement to embark on a partnership to design low-profile, flexible, stretchable and disposable wearables that consumers can apply directly to their skin. Scott Pomerantz, president and CEO at MC10, explained that the two companies’ combined expertise will allow them to perfect MC10’s Wearable Interactive Stamp Platform, despite how far-fetched it may seem.
“We are excited to partner with PCH to expand the reach of MC10’s body-worn electronics globally, within and beyond our core health care market,” Pomerantz said in a statement. “PCH’s experience working with leading consumer brands and their ability to commercialize the technology will accelerate development of new applications within a variety of industries for skin-worn wearables.”
A malleable wearable that can attach itself to human skin is far from a product concept. MC10 and L’Oréal debuted their own on-the-skin wearable at CES 2016 in January, Digital Trends reported. Dubbed the BioStamp Research Connect, the sticker-like device included a fully packed sensor module with an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a miniaturized electrocardiogram and galvanic skin response unit. The two companies also debuted the My UV Patch, a similar device meant to monitor exposure to harmful radiation.
“Previous technologies could only tell users the amount of potential sun exposure they were receiving per hour while wearing a rigid, non-stretchable device,” Guive Balooch, global vice president of L’Oréal’s Technology Incubator, told Digital Trends. “The key was to design a sensor that was thin, comfortable and virtually weightless so people would actually want to wear it. We’re excited to be the first beauty company entering the stretchable electronics field and to explore the many potential applications for this technology within our industry and beyond.”
