them knowing then you've probably thought of the possibility of invisible headphones rich levy thought this would be a great idea and had a small magnet that works as an ear bud surgically implanted in his tray guess the cartilage that sticks out in front of your ear canal  a backup supply of batteries like this so what does it do that creates a magnetic field that causes the magnets in my ears to create sound which is a trip i've also got this magnet implanted in my finger and i find it when i stick my finger in my ear and  going i can hear music coming out of my fingertips it's which is a crazy experience not a lot of people have had that happen to it's kind of cool anyway i can hear through my magnets they start buzzing it doesn't tickle it's so faint i mean i can squeeze all these things while it's playing and i can still hear audio it's pretty cool he doesn't have to worry about losing his headphones or and tangl however he's still bound by a wire and must wear a coral around his neck that is wirelessly connected to an amplifier which activates the sound transmission the coil produces a magnetic field which allows the implant to vibrate and make sound now while the sound quality may not be as good as wearing headphones lee has future plans to use this technology in his everyday life one idea is to link the system with range finders which would increase his hearing ability and to thermal matters so that he can get an idea of how hot something is before touching it i'm not so sure that i'll be running to my doctor to get a madman implanted in my ear anytime soon but the idea of invisible headphones sure is music to my ear we've become accustomed to the touch screen device and with the touch screen keyboard but for those longer conversations via e mail or text that you may be having or other writing that you are doing on the go having a physical keyboard may be more practical the makers of my type thought so as well and created a flexible but durable and waterproof bluetooth keyboard that is so small you can easily slip in your pocket right along with your phone and use it when you need to powered by a built in lithium ion battery that will hold a charge for several weeks my type easily connects to your phone or tablet through bluetooth three point zero technology allowing you to type away where ever you are it can be a fashion statement too as they offer a variety of colors including pink green blue and of course black and white my type has featured their product on kickstarter to receive funding and have already more than doubled their goal of ten thousand dollars the keyboard is not available for purchase just yet but production will begin after the kickstarter campaign ends and august so you should be able to buy your my type this
