A Chip ID That's Only Skin-Deep: Firm plans to sell implantable devices

A Florida company is poised to become the first to sell microchips designed to be implanted into human beings, an achievement that opens the door to new systems of medical monitoring and ID screening.

Implantable chips have long been discussed by technologists and denounced by those who object on religious grounds or fear their use by a totalitarian state. But the company that did the test, Applied Digital Solutions of Palm Beach, said the specter of terrorism is shifting attitudes. The direct union of man and computer is no longer dismissed out of hand.

"So why cry about the implantable devices. It is too late to change the new world order. That choice was taken away because too many of you were too lazy to bother to vote."

You nailed it! Bump!!

This is the line in the sand.

No deals. I will not be implanted with a chip, and if someone does impliment me with it against my will, then I turn into Henry Bowman.

in my dream I realized that they put a chip in my filling!

I'm afraid to tell you that it really did happen. You are branded. Flouride helps with the transmission.

"I believe (I hope) that people will be more resistant to this idea than the mainstream press understands"

"the specter of terrorism is shifting attitudes"

Sorry but I expect we will soon be at the decision as to whether those of us who seriously believe in individual freedoms should "sh*t or get off the pot."

can be viewed as a technology capable of storing energy that flows to it and releasing that energy in a specific capacity over an extended period. This combination creates a tiny, reliable and self-generating power source that does not require constant contact with the body and is void of toxic or hazardous materials.

Thanks for the info.

I already got a chip in my head. It's the only way I can talk to Timothy Leary these days.

Seems like an overly complicated custom solution to a problem that you could solve with off the shelf technology.
