Electronic pulses shared between 2 humans via a chip implanted between the both of them - huh - a bit too far out

I can see Internet toilets, microwaves, kitchen cabinets and alarm clocks proliferating the market in 15 years. Alarm clock services like chumby, nabaztag and Sleep.FM - The Social Alarm Clock are already bringing forth Internet alarm clock innovation and the japanese are working on the digital toilet that just upon use will save our lives.

But, again electronic pulses sent between humans i cant fathom such!
