The government and industry disagree with you. The last bastions of

computer folks.

When I see a new doctor, I hand the doctor a thumb drive with my information on it. It will probably get to the point where you transfer your information from your smartphone to a medical practitioner's phone or tablet. I don't own a smartass phone so I stick to a thumb drive. ?(?)?

The fact is the insurance companies already have access to your
medical records right now, at least anything you did not pay cash for
and did not try to claim. Even then you would have had to lie about
your name when you got the service and these days they want to see
more ID than you need to vote.
When we all get our chip it will be academic anyway. As soon as the
scanner by the door reads your chip, your whole life will pop up on
their computer. It is sort of like what happens now when a license
plate scanner on a cop car sees your plate. I predict that before long
we won't need tags because we will all be required to have
transponders in our car, perhaps reading the chip in your arm and
transmitting that info too.
Bear in mind "Big Brother" was from a book about 1984. Look behind
you.


I had an idea for a chip that could be implanted in the base of the skull of any illegal alien caught in the country. When they are repatriated, the chip is activated and will explode if the alien crosses the border again without the chip being officially deactivated. It would also explode if a surgeon tried to remove it on the other side of the border. What would really be funny if it were all a fake story told the illegals and the implant just an RFID chip that would set off alarms when the illegal alien passed by a detector. ヽ(ヅ)ノ
