Information, in Zimmerman's vision, will become contagious, flowing freely from person to person and computer to computer.
Zimmerman has been musing about the interaction of humans and computers since 1982 when, as he puts it, he "first surfaced in the wacky world of electronic invention." His debut invention was spectacular: the data glove, the staple of virtual reality that first allowed humans to reach into cyberspace.
Information on the card of the CEO on one end of the network flowed through the intervening bodies and was detected by the card at the far end.

 Personal Area Networks: Near-field intrabody communication
A PAN prototype has been developed to demonstrate the digital exchange of data through a human body using battery-powered low-cost electronic circuitry.
The demonstration prototype of the PAN system, shown in Figure 7, consists of a battery-powered transmitter and receiver, and a host computer running a terminal program.
The development of the Personal Area Network (PAN) grew out of a meeting between Professor Mike Hawley's Personal Information Architecture Group and Professor Neil Gershenfeld's Physics and Media Group, both at the MIT Media Laboratory.

Personal area network (PAN) is a piconet (see chapter 1) where two or more Bluetooth capable computers participate.
To use your host as a router to the network your computer is connected you should allow masquerading.
If you have a network connection in your computer you probably want to share it with others and configure your computer as a NAP.

 PAn :: Personal Area Network
PAN / Personal Area Network is a new concept developed by Thomas Zimmerman and other researchers at MIT's Media Lab.
For instance, our computers could exchange personal information when we shake hands, with the natural salinity of our bodies as a good conductor of electricity.
Since our PAN / Personal Area Network would also of course include Internet access, it could mean we would always be on line.

 Parks Associates Industry Report- Personal Area Network, Ultra-Wideband Technology, UWB
Wireless personal area network (WPAN) technologies offer the lure and promise of high-speed and low-power connectivity that has attracted the attention of the consumer electronics, computer, and mobile communications markets.
The early predictions would indicate that ultra-wideband (UWB) technology could be a unifying force to bring affordable and reliable multimedia networks to a new class of devices and solutions.
"Short-range and high-speed wireless connectivity solutions will comprise a dynamic segment of the home networking universe," said Kurt Scherf, vice president of research for Parks Associates.

Since P802 had successfully hosted the Ethernet standardization (IEEE P802.3 CSMA/CD) and Token Ring (IEEE P802.5), it was logical to have this project host the new effort in local area networks.
Without a physical system to point at, a formalized document structure and language is necessary.

To reduce the redundancy of input/output devices, Microsoft's patent proposes a personal area network that allows a single data input or output device to be used by multiple portable devices.
"As a result of carrying multiple portable electronic devices, there is often a significant amount of redundancy in terms of input/output devices included in the portable devices used by a single person," says the filing.
In its filing, Microsoft cites the proliferation of wearable electronic devices, such as wristwatches, pagers, PDAs (worn on people's belts) and small displays that can now be mounted on headgear.
