Microchip technology

by undwrtr Apr 13, 2017 12:13PM PDT

There is a new era is coming, when technologies will be implemented into our society,routine activities and making decision process as much as possible. Some politicians and journalists discourse upon the idea of global microchipping. Implantation of the little chip under the skin has huge applicable scope, such as keeping of personal information or any kind of cards/passes. On the other side, it is a huge issue with safety around this technology. Ideally, blockchain is a future solution of the leading disadvantage.
What do you think, is it some kind of dystopia or we can handle it in the nearest future?

2. English is not your first language or, if it is, your schooling failed you in the area of writing skills.
