Is this not just so awesome and frightening at the same time?

On the one hand, I'm all for new uses of technology involving the body. This could lead to (I'm hoping) personal computers that are more along the lines of what I've been dreaming about for ten years. On the other hand, using the body for technology seems a little frightening. I mean, what next, Doctors Frankenstein?
Personally, the excitement outweighs the fear right now.
Though, it is not expressed in the article how one controls the flow of information. What if you want to shake hands, but not share information? Do both people have to have similar devices on their persons to share information? Could this be used for some sort of personal touch based telepathy?
The possibilites boggle and inspire!
