Is there a microchip implant in your future?

[dank]

The is no ownership or possession in the universe.

You think you stand free of everything around you? independent, and unconnected?

You ARE connected, to everything around you, whether you realize it or not.

They "own" you, but you "own" IT, and IT will all reach equilibrium soon.

What does connectedness have to do with ownership?

No freaking way I'm ever having an implant. I don't care that it could be useful. Think about it, you could never be 100% sure what they put inside you, what secret functions the device could have. You know how the government is man, they always want more control and nothing will stop them from tapping into your implant if they want to. And I'm not being paranoid here. I'm not having the barcode either but at least it would be better than the implant. Tattooed though, not stitched 

The benefit could convince enough people to give up privacy. Imagine having cyber sex feel real for once.

An implant is really only a tiny step away from what we have now. Most people have their smart phones within a few feet of their person 24/7. You can already theoretically be tracked, monitored, etc, through your smart phone, but that has not stopped the vast majority of people (with the means) from getting them. The same will be true of any future devices that have comparable utility.

Would I get an implant that let me instantly access all the world's information through Google as if it was part of my own internal memory? Yes, I would.

Would I get an implant that let me "telepathically" communicate with other people? Yes, I would.

Would I get an implant that augmented my brain's ability to process information, expanding my intelligent a thousand fold? Yes, I would. 

Of course all of the above comes with caveats... how safe is it? How reliable is it? How expensive? How intrusive is the implantation? What safeguards against malicious use exist? What do the reviews on Amazon say about it?

If I could have chloroplasts graphed onto my skin in the form of implants then I would. Being self-sustaining is the ultimate tool humans could have under their belt I believe. Produce your own atp and not relying on external organic matter. I would love to be the guinea pig in that experiment. Then again I am a little wary of how your body would react to something like that. We will see. We will see future.

... Even if that tool is provided for free by google? What if that tool forbids you from using bitcoins online?

In EU chipping has already begun

You already hold infinite energy inside of you.  Tap into your soul and you will find abundance.  Sungaze.  Meditate.  Open your mind to the higher dimensions through psychedelics.

The rest is synthetic transhuman robotism, completely unnatural.  People have been harnessing the power of consciousness for millennial, as we are humans, not machines.

Let the slaves queue up for their chips and then get out the popcorn and wait to see who gets hacked first.Listening to the poodles waiting to be chipped gives me the giggles.Wanna buy some chips...get in quick before the pump LMFAO

[Mike Christ]

I don't see why not; cow farmers tag their cattle with chips, why not human farmers?

[mark coins]

So, they can implant this microchip in me, and I'll no longer have to carry around a wallet? All of my identifying information can be tied to this chip? Bank accounts, driver's license, medical history..... this actually sounds like a great idea or mind control

[Champ92]

Well first the answer is no. I just dont want something implanted in me. There is no control in buying what I like. I love how the money works right now.

[MasterCasino]

It depends on how much itll cost me to put a microchip on my skin

[ShintoshiBTC]

Yes.. I love to be part of the trend. Easy access to cash, easy access to paying the bills and stuff like that.

So who volunteers to be the cows? I am sure I would rather be the butcher at the slaughterhouse :-)

Care to elaborate what you mean? You could buy whatever implant you would like, or none at all.

[dKingston]

It scares me to think of the children they should have such chips
at birth. I disagree because I prefer my privacy to a chip with no
doubt, although one positive thing would be that if everyone is
chipped, the crime would decrease.

[InwardContour]

In my opinion in some years the chips will be so popular that everyone will have an implant or more than one.

[BigGameCAsino]

Yes.. I think within 60 years, majority of the people will have implant I guess.

[fredthegambler]

No.. microchip will be useless from where I am today.
