Company To Offer Implanted MicroChips To Employees-50 Takers So Far

I think chips implanted at birth, with GPS tracking, could be a good thing to help track lost kids, elderly folks with dementia, criminals and wayward husbands.

Seriously, it would be easy to take attendance at school or work, know who is in the airport or on a plane, locate lost hikers, etc...

Like many things it is about trading privacy for security and order.

I'd no longer need to carry a GPS device or rangefinder on the golf course. My own personal chip could tell me just how far I am from the front, middle, or back of the green. Vehicles would no longer need GPS navigation systems. Just set your destination on your cell phone, etc. and your own chip would take you there... driving, biking, walking, crawling..... Couples could easily check the whereabouts of their significant other. Could go two ways. More domestic violence when the "truth" is known as to whereabouts. Or, less domestic violence as folks know someone is following their every step. No more need for those ankle thingys for folks on parole. Their chip is simply programmed into the court's software and will show just where they are at all times. If I wanted to go on a diet, the chip could set off an alarm if I got within 50 feet of a fast food establishment or entered the "chips and cookies" aisle at the grocery store.

The possibilities are endless!!!!

Oh boy, is that like a "speed pass", so they can get a bag of chips from the vending machine, without fumbling with cash or credit card?

FYI: yes, millennials DO use credit cards for fast food / vending machine purchases.

Our son and his family just moved to a small, rural community. They went out to eat, never suspecting the local restaurant did not accept plastic. They didn't see it posted anywhere at they entered. There was a sign on the cash register as they went up to pay. The waitress said, "Oh, this happens all the time! When you have the cash, come back and pay!" The bill was something like $40 for the entire family to eat. Son drove over to an ATM, got cash, and immediately went back to pay the bill. Waitress seemed to have no worries about someone she had never seen before walking out without paying... and trusting them to return.
 
Er, no thanks. (Sounds like a joke. It's scary enough that my new car is able to read my mind.)
