Man Infects Himself with (Computer) Virus

PC World: We are one step closer to the future: a British scientist has become the first human being to contract a computer virus.

Dr. Mark Gasson, a cybernetics expert at the University of Reading, deliberately infected himself (by way of an RFID chip implanted in his wrist) with a benign computer virus. This was part of an experiment designed to show how implantable bionic devices are susceptible to computer viruses.
