Finger Whisper

As the world transitions further into the age of communication, we begin to see improvements every so often on cell phones.  In 1996, the idea of a finger phone developed and now the Telco NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese company, is working on just that.  It is exactly what it sounds like: a phone on your finger.  It fits like a ring, on the index finger and when you would like to call someone you simply stick your finger in your ear.  You will also be wearing a watch so that when you do call, the it converts the sounds into vibrations that are sent through the bones up to your finger.  A benefit of this technology is that it is effective in noisy environments.  The caller will not need to scream in order for the receiver to hear; the majority of sound that will be picked up is your voice. There will be many commands that could be function with different tapping sequences.
