This is some fascinating stuff right here.
Though currently in its prototype-phase, Skinput looks pretty promising - it is an ingenious bit of technology which allows our skin to be used as an input surface (e.g. like a large touchscreen keypad or GUI). It works off the idea of bio-acoustics, in that different parts of the body produce a unique pattern of vibrations when tapped. Check out the video below.

(Perhaps the future is in the palm of your hand, after all.)
Imagine the possibilities, though. It continues to fascinate me just how quickly (aka exponentially) technology is evolving. It is dynamic in that obsolescence and innovation occur practically simultaneously.
