AmericanGUY 4,609 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 #ThreeSquareMarket, a technology company out of Wisconsin, is set to be the first company in the U.S. to install microchips in its employees! Apparently, the chips are the size of a grain of rice and will allow employees to scan themselves into the building and purchase food items using #RFID or Radio-Frequency Identification technology. According to a statement from the company, “within seconds,” the chip can be implanted between the thumb and forefinger. In a company statement, CEO Todd Westby explained the vision that he sees for the use of this RFID technology and insists that it will become standardized. “We foresee the use of RFID technology to drive everything from making purchases in our office break room market, opening doors, use of copy machines, logging into our office computers, unlocking phones, sharing business cards, storing medical/health information, and used as payment at other RFID terminals,” he said. “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.” Westby also mentioned that the microchip will not be a requirement and that it doesn’t include GPS tracking. source: http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2017/07/24/wisconsin-company-to-implant-microchips-in-its-employees-in-august.html ꧁ 𝕛'𝕧𝕖𝕦𝕩 𝕡𝕒𝕤 𝕞𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕚𝕣 𝕥𝕠𝕦𝕥𝕖 𝕤𝕖𝕦𝕝𝕖 ꧂ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 78,870 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 In a world with no bad people, I would fully embrace microchips but too many hackers and evil people to allow me to trust a microchip in me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,885 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Absolutely not, I would never work in a place that asked they put a chip in my body, im a massive tech enthusiast and even this is way too far Scared at where the world is going. The stuff they said is easily achieved by using NFC with apps on a mobile phone, like Apple Pay uses... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
