Fight the Chip
When I say “The Chip” I’m referring to an RFID chip (radio-frequency identification) that many people want implanted in hands of humans for security purposes. This tiny grain of rice sized implant would get surgically implanted into your hand or somewhere and it would contain data about your identification, social security number and such. Anybody with a reader can then point it at you and receive the information on the chip and put that information into a database. At first this might seem convenient. If you were employed at a company, the company could install readers in the building and check when you entered and exited the building, how long you were at your desk, how many times you went to the bathroom, etc. The benefits and drawbacks of a technology like this implemented into humans is pretty obvious, and most technological advancements have their plusses and minuses, but the basic problem I have with insane security measures like this is that once you give them the power, its almost impossible to get it back. And if you think that it’s not going to happen, it’s already happening. We’re in the middle of it now.
