“I wonder if this would work with GPS? Might be a way to locate lost or missing children. “
I can see a push in the future for this from government.
After all, “it’s for the children”.
Neither, just remove the privileges from the account associated with the chip. Same as their ID badge. No big deal if it becomes de rigueur, they’re massive unique IDs that flag into their DB, you could have 200 of them and they’d not present a problem. Just like barcodes, only faster and less prone damage.
If they can make you take a blood or urine test, ‘friend’ them on social media or sit for a lie detector, why not?
People on here defend drug tests, background checks, credit checks and all sorts of egregious impositions on people by their employers, what’s a tiny microchip? I mean it’s free choice- don’t like it, don’t work there.
“I know that there are laws and regulations in place to ensure that the wrong people don’t get access to your information, and/or to prevent fishing expeditions through your electronic files. But as technology advances, it will be harder and harder to keep private information truly private.”
How about “chipping” any illegal who is granted some time before having to appear before an immigration judge? Catch, chip and release!
They CAN’T do GPS tracking, it’s just a RFID.
Paging all those with the Mark of The Beast - all those with the Mark of The Beast, please report to Hell for your eternal punishment. This message will not be repeated. Thank you.
Did you login? Then they know it’s you. All the chip does is login.
Actually, if it meant I never had to worry about finding my keys or wallet again or even carrying them I’d pay. It would be pretty easy to build a mini EMP device to wipe it out if needed.
RFID can still be used for tracking, though.
Sort of, but only on a small geographic scale. They have range problems, plus of course noise (at this point most of us have 3 or 4 RFIDs on us at all times without even knowing it), and really most companies probably don’t want to be sharing their RFID DB with outsiders. And outsiders probably don’t want it either, they’ve got their own RFID data to worry about without finding out you should probably be at work not their liquor store.
Which functions differently than a badge how??
RFID is not that great for tracking like that. You’d have to get very close to the reader each time for it to read.
All benefits now. Wonderfully useful great invention.
Then, someone realizes this can be used to monitor and control. Since that was the original, unspoken intention that becomes the new reality.
You can’t lose it. Or tape write your PIN on the back of the it thus eliminating all of its use as a security device.
The bible predicted 2000 years ago that this would happen. It will be manditory in order to eat, work, live.
Well since they’re replacing ID badges with it I think they’ve already got the whole monitor and control thing worked out.
bkmk
If the recipient of the chip is ever lost, the said chipee could be returned to its rightful owner.
Hmmm if the main purpose is for the vending kiosks that these folks create why not just use your finger print?
