To date, only 222 patients of US medical institutions have agreed to become cyborg, that is, to implant a VeriChip RFID chip into their hand,
CNet writes.
The company acknowledges that sales of radio frequency tags are not so good, which gives a good reason for joy on the part of critics and other opponents of turning people into cyborgs. The point, however, may be that doctors often simply do not want to talk with patients about the implantation of the RFID chip. By the way, the total income of the company from the installation and maintenance of radio tags amounted to only $ 100 thousand.
Meanwhile, the number of potential consumers of new products VeriChip estimates approximately 45 million people.
