As in Mark of the Beast(666)? But it also could be used as an advanced ankle bracelet for prisoners($5/day to monitor vs $50/day as immate).
now is this for locating them in case of being lost, or is it a memoery enhancer?
And what does that chip do, besides just being there? What are its useful [for Alzheimerites] functions?
IMDB says:
"Plot Summary for;
The Final Cut (2004)
The story is set in a world where implanted microchips can record all moments of an individual's life. The chips are removed upon death so the images can be edited into something of a highlight reel for loved ones who want to remember the deceased. Caviezel portrays the leader of the organization that opposes this technology's development.
In a near undefined future, people may have a Zoe microchip implanted in their nervous system to permit their families retrieve the best moments of their memories and watch on video after their deaths. This process is called "Rememory" and Alan H. Hakman (Robin Williams), a man traumatized by an incident in his childhood, is the best cutter of the Eye Tech Corporation. The company is facing groups that oppose to the "Rememory" and the ex-cutter Fletcher (Jim Caviezel) is leading these opponents
They kill you? Whoa.
;-)
Thanks for the summary. I will check it out.
Dumb me, I thought this story was going to talk about implanting a chip that would help peoples' memories. But, no, this chip just has identification information on it like the chip you put into cats and dogs. That certainly does say something about how we treat humans doesn't it?
I'd rather forget.
LOL. It won't improve your memory. It will just tell others what they need to know about you in order to treat you. At least, that's what I remember reading. It's been a while.
LOL.
Your homepage is great.
Thank you!
They have a chip to help with that.
They do?! Cool.
What are we talking about again?
Sounds like it is basically an ID tag that also contains their medical records.
Personally, I'm opposed to such things but to each his own. The only way I'd have any kind of computer chip put into me was if it was for a medical condition such as the concept of using a chip to bypass nerve damage.
Oh, poo, and here I was getting ready to post: "I hope its at least PC3200 DDR RAM or some sort of tera-quad capacity iso-linear chip", only to discover that, well, nevermind...
hmm. making a mental note on you for the files.
Just a minute. I'll ask my television set.
Don't you love colorful wording?
