COMPUTER VIRUS

Dr Gasson, A computer specialist at University of Reading tested a new threat for human beings recently. As using the micro-chips in different parts of human bodies to improve their health is becoming worldwide this researcher tried to implant one of these chips to his body to see how much vulnerable could it be in case of malfunction of the chip by a computer virus.

Nowadays using these micro computers in medical science makes the scientist to be worry about the threats that these electronic devices might have for human beings. Dr Gasson attached one of these micro-chips to his hand to make a secure connection with his university building and his mobile phone. As he mentioned when this device implanted in his body it became a part of his body and whatever happened to the function of this device will affect him. The results of his experience as the first human being who has infected by a computer virus were presented at the IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society in Australia in June 2010.
This scientist threatens us about the dangers we might encounter in the near future because of using such the technologies to enhance ourselves.
