A cool link from Tom Hise on SFFNet:

"Japan's Hitachi says it has developed the world's smallest
and thinnest microchip, that can be embedded in paper to
track down parcels or prove the authenticity of a document."

Tom said that I should've gotten a patent. I don't know if you can patent a concept, but if someone invents a brain-in-a-box to read the chips...

ISTR that some SF writers have patented things that they've put in their fiction. Wil McCarthy I think is one of them, with "programmable matter."

Why do I think I'll someday be sorry that I didn't look into this sooner...
