Would You Want Your ID to be Implanted?

These days you can’t just go out without an identification card with you.

A week ago my wife and I went to the mall to see if we could purchase a new PC with a low budget.

While approaching the mall’s main door, we saw people falling in line at the entrance. Scenes like this are now normal due to strict security checkpoints.

We followed the line and while approaching the security personnel I heard that they need to check IDs too aside from vaccination cards, QR code scanning and temp check.

I was not surprised although I had raised my eyebrows a little bit. The mall we visited for the first time in two years is the branch of one of the largest malls in the country.

There are also malls near our location but the security needs only a vaccination card and temp check. For unvaccinated persons they need QR code scanning for contact tracing.

Valid ID

Identification cards are important. You cannot just make transactions with large businesses without a valid identification. Government agencies and private companies as well always need our ID for ease of processing transactions.

For example with the company I am currently connected to, we cannot enter each door if we don’t have an access ID.

Human implantation

Large companies these days are using Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) for their access. Some are implanting RFID on their employees under their skin.

RFIDs contain personal information like name, address and your current location. It may also contain your digital wallet that can be used for purchasing goods and transportation.

The first microchip implant RFID on humans was in 1997. However there were controversies regarding this application particularly with privacy and security.

If a company wants their employees to have RFID implanted they will have full control of tracking each employee.

We don’t want to be tracked. No one would want to be watched at all times. We want privacy.

Contact Tracing

In this current situation, it seems we have agreed to be tracked without complaints.

In our country it is a must to fill in contact tracing forms before you enter a business establishment. You will have to give you basic information like name, address and contact.

The World Health Organization is encouraging everyone to be vaccinated although it should not be mandatory. However, unvaccinated ones seem to be discriminated against.

Most businesses in our place require every consumer to present their vaccination card before they can enter their premises. There were even signs in every public utility vehicle that said “No Vaccination. No Ride.”

Even if you don’t want to receive flu shots, you have no choice but to abide by the law. Otherwise you will be living a life as a caveman in the city.

Freedom

Microchip implant is no longer new to us. We even saw it in some Hollywood films and the message they deliver is no other than deprivation of freedom.

Technology is getting more sophisticated and this type of application is inevitable. It will always lead us there.

There are a lot of good opportunities RFID brings like transportation and payments, access to the workplace and other things like schools and hospitals.

We must understand that technology is always innovating for humanities welfare. However it can also cause destruction and even human extinction.

Remember that we always have the right to say no because we want freedom. But sometimes you have no reason to disagree for you to continue to exist. 

Thanks for reading. Ciao!
