Abstract

A communication apparatus, comprising: a tiny pin, having a sharp, arrow-shaped end with a spiral groove, suitably dimensioned and configured for insertion, penetration into, and retention in a user's skin; a data receiver; a data transmitter, and a shaft having an inner end attached to the sharp, arrow-shaped end of the tiny pin, and an outer end attached to the data receiver and data transmitter; wherein data are not transmitted by sound waves passing through the user's body. The tiny pin, data receiver and data transmitter are preferably joined in one unit. In an alternative embodiment: a pair of magnets that can be retained on a user's body; a data receiver attached to one of the magnets; and a data transmitter attached to one of the magnets; wherein data are not transmitted by sound waves passing through the user's body. The magnets are preferably made from rare earth elements.
