According to research released today by the Institute for Grocery Distribution (IGD), a retail think-tank, one in five teenagers and one in nine adults would be willing to have a microchip implanted to pay shoping bills and help to prevent card or identity fraud and muggings. A quick scan of the arm would connect immediately to bank details and payments could be made swiftly.
Geraldine Padbury, senior business analyst at IGD, accepts that many consumers will have concerns about their privacy, but says that teenagers, the next generation of shoppers, will have far fewer concerns about using the body chips.
“With teenagers happy to use MySpace (the networking website) and blogs to share details of their private lives, there may be less concern surrounding privacy than for other generations.”
Would you take the chip?

Why the body? Why can't I put it where I want it?
I'd hide it in an earring or a wristwatch or a cell phone or a wallet.
Why is the gov't (and constituent corporations) so bent on chipping people's bodies? Is anyone else scared by this?
I had imagined CENTURIES of extracorporal RFID chips before requiring it IN CORPORE! Who the hell do these people think they are!

As a ways on your eyes, I don;t think of you additionally may cause them to act like reveal reveal screen the two, till you positioned some style of chips glued on desirable on your eyes, which may be undergo extremely uncomfortable, you would be extra perfect off with your unique eyes. a GPS-enabled chip, for GPS monitoring of persons, does not yet exist — specially by way of problems with means intake and antenna overall performance. yet another hurdle dealing with this style of GPS utility is the incontrovertible fact that as quickly as the implant gets the GPS documents from GPS satellites, how does it checklist its region to the outdoors international? microchip implants are at present getting used for some hospitals as a means to maintain song of their sufferers scientific background. There may be a number of this technologies being enhanced by using scientists, all you're able to do genuine now's speculate, yet till at present not something like this is attainable. Sorry no implantation on your suggestions.
