Office workers in Sweden are replacing chip by implant

The Swedish High-Tech Center, Epicenter, suggested that everyone, instead of the usual magnetic cards, implant RFID chips. Chip can be used for access to the building and for working with multifunction devices. In the future, it is planned to accept payment within the complex from the user's account. The size of the chip is not more than two pieces of rice, and it is implanted in the hand between the thumb and index finger.

Hans Sjoblad, project manager, himself implanted a chip: “We are constantly confronted with technology. Today it is quite difficult to do - you need PIN codes and passwords. But it would be much easier to hold your hand over the reader. It would be intuitive. We need to deal with the technology, until big corporations and governments start to chip everything in a row - a tax chip, a chip for Facebook, a chip for Google. ”

Soblad is very optimistic in terms of the application and dissemination of this practice. He is confident that the coming “Internet of things” will benefit from the total chip-giving. Devices and sensors will be able to track your actions and record them. Based on this data, a health-conscious fitness system or system will be able to provide advice and advice to the chip carrier.

RFID chips have already provoked an unconfirmed rumor that Obama is going to chip all Americans in order to optimize the healthcare system. So far, the replacement of card passes in the Epicenter is voluntary. But Slashdot readers comment on this news not too benevolently. Some are interested in how soon each person will begin to chip at birth. Others ask if it would be easier to get a barcode tattoo on the forehead right away. Still others note that RFID chips will no longer be needed anyway - after all, even now Facebook software can recognize faces as well as a human brain.
