    Hmmm. I guess I'd like to see information from a more reputable source than this fairly incoherently written little piece. Tracking all people? Controlling their money and food? Killing them?? Not likely with RFID technology, which I believe can only transmit a fairly small amount of data and which can only be read within a very short distance, such as a few feet. At that range there are easier ways to kill someone than that, and who knows how the food and money issue comes into it.

    It's only a matter of time that people will consent to this for "convenience". I totally see people putting chips in their arms or a barcode somewhere. No more wallet, license, credit cards, money. It's all on a chip in your arm…

    Totally plausible.

    I recently saw a story of a company in Sweden, I believe, whose employees have chips implanted in their arms for purposes of ID, security, etc.

    Not for me, I'm willing to carry some extra shit around.

    I do, however, fully support the micro-chipping of our pets!

    If that is happening, I will seriously reconsider becoming a citizen.

    Not a good idea.Too much availability to corrupt.We all know computers can be hacked.This just seems like a cluster in the making.What our Phones and info on there ain't enough?

    I don't know, maybe they'll have security features... like, only activated if you stick a certain USB drive up your bum. If the USB drive isn't in, then the information protocol doesn't activate. Easy solution.

    Wouldn't it be easier to just have fingerprint recognition up there?

    It's likely that it will be like that someday, but not by 2017, no way.

    Agreed. I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that I will not by chipped by 2017.

    Was more making a bad joke. But as far as fingerprints go - what if you're asleep and an identity thief simply lifts your fingerprint for access? Something that I heard that always resonated with me is that security necessity for other products will always be behind thieves. This is for the simple reason that the primary objective of a cyber thief will be to break security, but for anyone else, creating strong security protocols is always a secondary concern (i.e. profit will be number one).

    Mine was a bad joke too. I got your meaning, was just implying people use a finger instead of a usb stick.

    What was I thinking! Does your belly button glow green while you're charging, and will my ass vibrate when I'm low on batteries?
