Big Brother Gets Computer Chips Get Under Your Skin
0 Comments
Big brother is being promoted by technology geeks in the form of the new technology of RFID chip implants. The size of a grain of rice, they can be easily injected under the skin. Today, everyone needs passwords and/or entry cards to enter buildings or computers. How easier can it get to just wave your hand.
But with advances made in wireless communications the possibilities of uses for both good and evil exists. It is possible for others to read your chip without you knowing it. Intrusion to personal information can not yet be guaranteed.
This technology has been around for over ten years and used in animals. According to a recent report by CNN:
Mikey Sklar, a 28-year-old Brooklyn resident, said, "It does give you some sort of power of ‘Abracadabra,’ of making doors open and passwords enter just by a wave of your hand."
The RFID chip in Sklar’s hand, which is smaller than a grain of rice and can last up to 100 years, was injected by a surgeon in Los Angeles.
Tattoo artists and veterinarians also could insert the chips into people, he said. For years, veterinarians have been injecting similar chips into pets so the animals can be returned to their owners if they are lost.
