A Wisconsin company is about to become the first in the U.S. to offer microchip implants to its employees.
Yes, you read that right. Microchip implants.
"It's the next thing that's inevitably going to happen, and we want to be a part of it," Three Square Market Chief Executive Officer Todd Westby said.
The company designs software for break room markets that are commonly found in office complexes.
Just as people are able to purchase items at the market using phones, Westby wants to do the sam thing using a microchip implanted inside a person's hand.
"We'll come up, scan the item," he explained, while showing how the process will work at an actual break room market kiosk. "We'll hit pay with a credit card, and it's asking to swipe my proximity payment now. I'll hold my hand up, just like my cell phone, and it'll pay for my product."
More than 50 Three Square Market employees are having the devices implanted starting next week. Each chip is about the size of a single grain of rice.
Along with purchasing market kiosk items, employees will be albe to use the chip to get into the front door and log onto their computers.
Each chip costs $300 and the company is picking up the tab. They're implanted between a person's thumb and forefinger. Westby added the data is both encrypted and secure.
"There's no GPS tracking at all," he said.
This is nuts! A chip in your hand so you can buy a bag of chips! And they can keep track of every single bag of chips you ever buy with your hand chip. Then they can add a potato chip surcharge to your health insurance. Fun times!
I'll never do it
Oh hell no, XD one of my professors told me a few years ago that "microchips will be used on humans " i didn't believe it until now. I would never let anyone implant some microchip inside me.
No GPS tracking he says well then i say it's pure bullshit there is GPS tracking in it and they are just covering it up.
One of the main reasons of using such microchips is being able to track employees and to spy on them so that they do exactly what the company wants.
Oh hell no I don't want anything inside my body.
And they are telling there is no GPS facility but they could be tracking us.
where we are heading Microchip implants oh man that sounds crazy in itself.
I would never work for a company like that.
But suppose, just suppose I did and they obliged me to get implanted such a thing, I would agree only on one condition ... That it is implanted in my (upraised) middle-finger ...
Haha nonsense,but also it will happening in future.
I've seen some people put credit card and travel card chips on their fingers but I'd never want this to happen to this and I wouldn't want this imposed on to me if I was an employee.
is this the Future?
interesting ... followed you
It is here for a long time, & now it is happening. Resteemed ^^

wow. Bitcoin and crypto and now this. I have a feeling these two inventions will one day inevitably combine. cool post! creepy stuff!
"There's no GPS tracking at all"
Only a fool to believe!
Good luck to them trying to fuck with my hands. I'm a boxer and punch shit for a living. Touch my hands and I'll bounce their head off the concrete.
Interesting indeed!
