Literally, yesterday I published a small post , which addressed the issue of the readiness of inserting a microchip inside my body and the degree of usefulness of such “bullying” over my body.
Also during the discussion, it was found that it would be nice to tell people living with us with implants, but the Internet fell off right up to noon the next day, and therefore I could not upgrade that topic and introduce a new one.
It will be about those people who are not afraid of the introduction of implants. ')
Jerry Jalawa and his USB finger
I will begin, perhaps, with a programmer from Finland, Jerry Jalawa, who had an accident on his Ducati Monster 696 motorcycle, crashing into a deer. The doctors amputated the part of the ringless finger on one of the hands (it is not clear why, but different sources show left and right), but, having learned that Jerry is a computer programmer, they suggested joining a USB flash drive to the rest of the finger.
And what do you think? They did it! Now Jerry - the owner of a finger-flash memory 2GB. There are no problems with using such an ordinary device in an unusual design because of a well-thought-out design: when mounted, Jalawa removes the nail to the computer, inserts his drive into the USB connector, and then “releases” it with ease.
You can also watch the video.
Kevin Warwick - the pioneer in the world of cyborgs
And this man is already a little over 50, and he is a professor of cybernetics at the British University of Reading. And because of his professional activity, he went even further: a microchip was built under his skin in the region of the forearm of his left hand, which allows him to directly exchange information between the nervous system and the computer.
Now the professor can transmit nerve impulses from the hand to the computer, and also from the computer - to the hand. Each such impulse carries a certain signal, and can, for example, control the movement of the wrist and fingers, and even the sensation of pain. Those. affect the nervous system of the place where it was embedded.
Who does not believe - can watch the video.
Afterword
Of course, this is only a small part of the real cyborgs (Jerry Jalawa, in principle, not such a cyborg, since his device does not affect his body). In the United States, several million people are already microchipped for identification purposes (basically, VeryChip from Applied Digital Solutions is used, which is still assigned a unique 14-digit identifier at the factory).
VeryChip
I think it is also worth watching a video about the contradictions of implanting VeryChip in Russia.
And in one of the companies in the United States (it is only known that it specializes in surveillance equipment), employees for the purpose of the experiment introduced microchips that were used to restrict access to those premises of the company that only a small circle of people and the police had access to.
In general, the issue of chipization is certainly controversial, but, as usual, progress does not stand still. Let's see what will happen in 10 years. Although, even more will pass before mass implementation. But, as they say, microchip microchip strife.
