What if there was a way you could pay to remove the targeted ads from Facebook, stop it from tracking everything you do and make your data more secure? Currently ?we don?t pay for the product because we are the product?. Our data has been collected and is now used to influence us in many ways. A paid product could give us the sharing advantages we originally liked in Facebook without the disadvantages of lack of privacy.

CSIRO scientists are investigating whether wearable nanoneedles could be used to analyse interstitial fluid, which is the fluid around your cells. In that fluid they?re working to detect cancer biomarkers, like tumour DNA and other intercellular signatures, through your skin ? but without causing any pain. If it?s found to be do-able, this could potentially give them the ability to detect cancers much earlier and increase treatment success, in a much less invasive way. https://blog.csiro.au/nanoneedles-just-what-the-doctor-will-order/
