How to Infect a Human by Computer Virus
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkThursday, March 19, 2009
Yes its true and I am in no mood to be joking. You can infect a person through computer virus. You just need a nOOb’s Windows machine (considering the reputation of Windows I am sure there will be lots of viruses in it and who doesn’t know that pen drives just love them) and Jerry Jalava.
Wondering what the hell? Jerry Jalava, after a motorcycle crash that crushed one of his fingers, has built a special finger which contains computer storage for photos, movies and other useful files. He was rushed to Helsinki Hospital where he was examined by a hand surgeon who said they were unable to save it and amputated half of the finger off. When Jerry told doctors what he did for a living they joked he should have a USB ‘finger drive’ but that was good enough for him, and he set about making one. Well talk of nonchalance and there you have it. He was found quoting,
‘When I’m using the USB, I just leave my finger inside the slot and pick it up after I’m ready.’
So here is the most serious part. Ask Jerry to come over and put his fingered USB Drive inside that machine and bingo! Now you can surely say that his human body is infected with a computer virus!
Did you expect a miracle? Have a hearty laugh. And cheers to Jerry! He is a geek in true sense of the term. Long live.

I’ve just become another fan of Jerry Jalava’s. But still don’t quite understand, what his invention has to do with a computer virus. I think infecting human body with a computer virus will be possible some day, but not any time soon. |
