Putting this in the Technology section since it's not common..yet.
I began wondering how long this would take before someone used it for work etc a few years ago. Looks like now it's starting to become used in the workplace.
Here is one example article on the subject:
Cyborgs at work: employees getting implanted with microchips
Some quotes from the article:
"As a demonstration, he unlocks a door by merely waving near it. "It basically replaces a lot of things you have, other communication devices, whether it be credit cards or keys."
"He injects the implants — using pre-loaded syringes — into the fleshy area of the hand, just next to the thumb. The process lasts a few seconds, and more often than not there are no screams and barely a drop of blood. "The next step for electronics is to move into the body," he says."
A gps tracked tag that everyone has embedded in them to work at certain businesses etc. Tracks when you leave the building for lunch so you don't have to punch out / use your phone and tracks when you get back in the building via local wifi etc was one suggestion i read just for everyday business. Another is maybe your phone/laptop/workstation won't unlock unless it detects the signal from the chip in your hand.
Is this going too far? Is this the way the human race is going? Security concerns? In say a decade could this be mandatory for working somewhere? Could this revolutionize the way homes are built especially with motion capture, turn on lights, unlock door etc.
Thoughts?
Just want to get the discussion going.
