Are you willing to implant human chips and turn employees into "cyborg"?
A Wisconsin company called The Tripartite Market Company will give employees free chips for free.
The $300 chip, the size of a grain of rice, will bring a whole new experience to the staff: straight through the company's access control system, logging on to company computers, buying snacks in the company's rest area...
The British broadcasting corporation reported on July 24, The Tripartite Market Company is the first company in the United States and implanted chip enterprises for staff, employee will turn them into the hands of the chip implanted "electronic person", credit card used in the daily life, such as key items will fit in the body.
So far, 50 employees have signed on.
The Tripartite Market Company , chief executive of Todd west than said in a statement: "predictably, using radio frequency identification (rfid) technology to promote quick pay, 'smart key', health information sharing in the areas of development is a trend.
Eventually, the technology will be widely used for passports, public transport, and various payment channels.
Radio frequency identification technology (rfid) is a new application of near-field communication technology, which has developed rapidly in Sweden.
The Tripartite Market Company is working with a Swedish company called BioHax, which plans to offer human chip placement services worldwide.
BioHax administrator Patrick McMullen says the market for human chips is promising, and whoever is the first to seize the opportunity will have the opportunity to capture more market share.
While most of the employees at the Tripartite Marketing Company agree to implant the chips, others may think twice about whether to implant the chips.
Does this technology bring convenience or are there any information security risks?
The Tripartite Market Company, vice President, Tony danner, head of the international department stressed that implanted chip positioning function, and the chips in a credit card, just replace the function of daily use articles, "chips will bring convenience to people".
In the case of Ben liburton, a microbiologist at the karolinska institute in Sweden, though chips can share health information, there are pitfalls.
"What happens to your health, how often you work, how often you take a break at work, and so on, all of the data is consciously collected," says liburton.
What will these data be used for?
Who can see it?"
In fact, most people are reluctant to accept implants for security reasons, mainly worried about privacy, but also some people said: "say of privacy invasion, in fact an apple mobile phone 10 times more dangerous than a chip."
Electronic chip embedded technology in the medical profession has several ten years of history, people usually only in case of necessity would consider implanted medical devices, but with the emergence of more and more "tech geek", the inherent concept is broken by quietly.
For now, chip, after all, is a foreign body and child growth, skeletal muscle change, chip may shift in the body, and buried chip under the skin, the signal through the body's tissues, for a long time for years will impact on health, how to control the signal frequency to minimize the damage, haven't settled yet.
