Plastic cards may soon give way to biometric systems, microchip implants, gait recognition and other technologies that aim to improve security, generate health data and monitor workers. Been thinking along these lines for awhile. Still think it's not good or bad. Guess it depends on who access whom. Good write up at the link. +++LINK+++ | ||

I know someone with an implant. If his arm gets close to your phone you'll get rickrolled. | |||

Not a fan. Think of the issues with RFID and the ability to scan and misuse the current technology. Now put that in someone's body use it to track them, health data, etc.... Too many possibilities for misuse of the information. It's not like you can put your arm, head, whatever in an RFID blocking wallet. “Government exists to protect us from each other.

I thought this was about inflatable chimps. I was going to give some biometric feedback. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

Nope. I'll use my phone, a wrist band/watch, card, whatever, but nothing is going in my body. | |||

Why bother implanting chips. Just tag everything to a biometric scan (retina, iris, fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.) | |||

And the reason you have one in your cat is the same reason why the government wants one in you... ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

No real need for implants. For quite sometime, there have been time clocks which scan the vein pattern inside the hand. No way to reverse analyze the scan to construct the hand, and fairly reliable - and has to be a living person. Frankly, it makes more sense than most other methods. | |||

So if you get lost, and someone randomly finds you, they'll know who your owner is?

I'm all for it, if they'll combine the mandatory biometric implant with a birth control implant for which an IQ test is required in order to be disabled. (I'm mostly kidding. Mostly.) | |||
