Can I suggest instead that we put them on a string? Or even better, if we made it a wire, it could be used to carry power to the earbuds, negating the need for batteries and sparing the environment. Almost all of us carry phones with us now, which have large batteries that could be used to power the earbuds, assuming some sort of suitable output socket can be developed and integrated into the phone.

Finally, while I'm sure this is probably a pipedream, perhaps with a programme of focused technological R&D, we could develop a way to let the charging cables carry the sound signal, thus also eliminating problems with wireless interference.

What do you think? Too mad, or is this a way to a better future?

This is incorrect. It’s well buried in the original article, but at the end they mention that Mr Long has had a vasectomy - so he *has* no sperm in his semen. The only DNA there must come from the (trace) immune cells that are always present, and which unsurprisingly come from the bone marrow donor.
Similarly, finding donor DNA in Mr Long’s other tissues doesn’t mean he’s a chimera. All organs have a blood supply, so the fact that there’s donor-derived blood cells present is to be expected.

Amazing. I too have a picture that’s not coloured at all but was constructed by layering dots of pure cyan, magenta, yellow and black on top of the original white-on-white image.
