The syringe slides in between the thumb and index finger. Then, with a click, a microchip is injected in the employee's hand. Another “cyborg” is created.
What could pass for a dystopian vision of the workplace is almost routine at the Swedish start-up hub Epicenter. The company offers to implant its workers and start-up members with microchips the size of grains of rice that function as swipe cards: to open doors, operate printers or buy smoothies with a wave of the hand.
“The biggest benefit, I think, is convenience,” said Patrick Mesterton, co-founder and chief executive of Epicenter. As a demonstration, he unlocks a door merely by waving near it. “It basically replaces a lot of things you have, other communication devices, whether it be credit cards or keys.”
The technology itself is not new: Such chips are used as virtual collar plates for pets, and companies use them to track deliveries. But never before has the technology been used to tag employees on a broad scale. Epicenter and a handful of other companies are the first to make chip implants broadly available.

I am not fooled by this for one second... Call it the mark of the beast or not, but this is not convenient... What happens if you get a defective chip? What happens if your chip is magnetically wiped? Can these be hacked or wiped remotely or changed? The answer is yes to all of those, but you all will want if because it is a new fab... Once cash is gone, good luck to you all...
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the chips that have cyanide in them, and crack, opens up with a hard hit to the hand or remotely, yep it is possible and a reality as much as you might not want to think it or believe it...
You people are just plain fools... Anything to make you lazy...
The next model wires directly into the skull and allows you to work 12 hours a day in a dirty factory but think that you were laying on the beach all day.

It's not that big of a deal to use a key card I'll forgo the microchip.
ReplyDeleteI say no way. I am sure it has GPS also!!
ReplyDeleteI have a swipe card I must keep with me to get in and out of the building. I need my job, but would never allow myself to get chipped. I won't even get a tattoo! The body is a temple and this is mutation! I have someone who used to work as Phlebotomist at PRMC. They forced everyone to get a flu shot or get fired. She refused to do this, and quit. I know this is coming, and will be only a matter of time. We must fight this tooth and nail so this doesn't become law! This is the mark of the beast!
