We Microchip pets, now we Microchips ourselves

No matter how we look at it (or scream), the wave to microchipping humans is coming!

It all started in 1998, when distinguished British scientist Kevin Warwick "Caption Cyborg" experimentally used the implants wired to his nervous system to open doors, switch on lights, adjust heat, access computer with a wave of his hand. He uses himself as a guinea pig to test various other new technologies on himself, vowing to leave his human self behind to become a cyborg. He's one crazy, crazy man. Brilliant, but crazy. BBC also wondered, "Crazed Scientist or Gifted Visionary?"

Companies took notice and by 2002, VeriChip Corporation got the green light from FDA to start microchipping humans. Its use is generally medical, containing only data about the person's medical history, general identification, personal contacts, medicines, allergies, etc. In case of a medical emergency, when one cannot inform ER doctors about medications and medical history, doctors can use a special chip scanner to scan the person's chip for critical and life-saving information in seconds. But due to the unencrypted nature of the microchip, there is a real threat of ill-meaning people that can hack into and steal chip information. Maybe they can scan for your allergies and then sprinkle that into your food? Or find out you have a pacemaker and throw you a giant magnet? The possibilities are limitless!

Other things that are possible with the chip that might (or is) happen in the future: VeriChip Corporation and RECEPTORS LLC just announced in October 2009 that chips are developed to detect if you get the swine flu and/or seasonal flu, it will detect and remind you to take your medications, and in the future, grab-and-go shopping, brain chipping, even telepathy!! Thoughts beware!

We already have the technology to use the chip implants as a credit card to conveniently pay for items or GPS-trackable, we just have to get past the masses and masses of protesting people like human rights groups and civil liberty groups in order to do so. Hey what year is it? 1984? Yeah sounds like it.

Here is the advertisement VeriChip put out to promote the chip:


It's really hard to not see all the crazy people, mind control theories out there. Video 1 of 5:


Even better- More recently, in 2007 Hitachi RFID microchip unveiled the world's smallest and thinnest RFID microchip measuring in at 0.05 x 0.05 millimeters! It's so small that it can be embedded in paper; or when there's a riot, the police can just sprinkle it around and then track us down one by one!
