Since several stores have announced that their self-checkout registers will not accept cash, but rather card only, there has been much talk that this is leading to more micro-chipping and the world is coming to a cashless society.
***rifid (radio frequency identification) - microchip***
***Thoughts***
Although microchips are already being using in humans in the medical field and dogs have microchips, there is talk that the government will eventually use this for it’s own advantage. There has been talk that nothing is private anymore because microchips can be tracked. There has been talk of possibly having microchips in students in the school. There has been talk of micro- chipping babies when they are born in the hospital as oppose to having ID bracelets on them.
1. Who Invented the microchip?
According to Thought.co.com Jack Kilby patented the microchip in 1959 and Robert Joyce patented it for a silicon-based integrated circuit. Jack Kilby was born November 8, 1923 and died June 20, 2005. He was an American electrical engineer. He also was the co-inventor of the handheld calculator and the thermal printer.
When I think about implants today people are living with various medical implants such as breast implants, orthopedic implants, heart valve replacements, hip replacements, heart pacemakers, and much more. I recall talking with a few friends and they shared with me that they had a pacemaker. I had no idea. I imagined it as being a large object. They explained they had a very tiny incision and the pacemaker was about the size of a small chip in your cellphone. They really enlightened me. Over time the body does wear out, but technology has developed replacement implants for the body.
2. What is a microchip implant?
According to en.wikipedia.org., a human microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit device or RFID transponder implanted in the body of a human. They further add the first implant occurred in 1998 by the British scientist Kevin Warwick. The microchip is about the size of a grain or rice, it is quite small.
3. Micro-chipped Babies
The thought of micro-chipping a baby sounds scary, but according to humanhealth.com European babies born from Dec. 2016 will be micro-chipped. They further add that information from their cells can be sent to tablets so doctors and parents can monitor their children in real time. With this new age of technology. There have been those that have suggested a micro-chipped baby could not be kidnapped as easily.
4. Microchip implant in Sweden
According to scmp.com news the microchip implants were started in Sweden in 2015 and can replace the need to carry keys or credit cards. They further add with the insertion of the microchip and employee just waves her hand on a small box, types in a code before the doors open for work.
5. Microchip in animals
This has been a practice that has been done in dogs and cats since 1989 according to scientificamerican.com. They further add that although tumors were formed in mice and rats in tissue around where the microchips were placed, further testing showed no link to cancer; thus the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found in 2004 the process safe enough to use in animals and humans.
You wonder how big of a study was done. You wonder how long the study was done. Statistics can be used to prove or disprove just about anything.
I do recall my daughter found a small dog. She loves animals so she took the dog in. No one around her seemed to know who the dog belonged to. So she took the dog to the vet and discovered the dog had a chip. They contacted the owners and apparently the owners did not want the dog. My daughter kept the dog which lived several years, but was eventually found to have several cancerous tumors and eventually died. I often wonder did the previous owners just abandoned the dog because of the cancerous tumors. The small dog was really cute and just loved my daughter. She would cling to my daughter like a small child. She gave that dog so much love even though she already had 2 small dogs. This makes me wonder, The FDA ruling that microchips are safe for humans, but is it really safe? What do you think?
6. Memory implants
Did you know that according to Cnn.com, there are reports that 80,000 people have chips in their brain to help with short-term memory lost? There are a variety of usages for microchips in humans. I do not know what the future will bring, however, I do know that time and technology waits for no one. Could this be a possibility for Alzheimer patients? Even though microchips are in our credit cards, and chips are in our dogs, when we start putting chips in humans for government purposes it might be questionable.
7. Where are rifid currently being used?
Did you know that rifid’s are currently being used in security tags in clothing, in the pharmaceutical industry it is used for tacking patient’s medications and prescriptions, aerospace industry for kitchen utensils, and in businesses it speed’s the delivery of products. That is according to dme.us.com.
8. What States are currently banned from using rifid
Did you know that employers are banned from requiring device implants in Arkansas, California, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wisconsin, according to BloombergLaw data?
I do not believe I would want a micro-chip for convenience in shopping, opening my car, or opening my house door. I do not even want a tattoo which has become quite popular among young and old. What about you?
