hauxwell   243 #49 Posted August 20, 2017 Being chipped in the Hollywood films I have watched was for governments to track people down. It sounds a bit like Big Brother keeping an eye on you. Could these chips cause infection being in your body all the time? they are still fairly new, only time will tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
samssong   10 #50 Posted August 20, 2017 With a chip in your neck no one could pretend they were you , Lord Lucan would be found instantly by the central chip bank, all doubts about wether Elvis was dead could be put to bed as the chip would still work six foot under .  If the idea catches on then I claim the patent here and now on the World wide web.

Cyclone   10 #51 Posted August 21, 2017 Lord Lucan would have had his chipped swapped with one from a recently deceased person, as would Elvis.  You can't 'claim' a patent, you have to register them, and the idea has to be new.  And to pretend you were someone else (who's still alive) you'd simply clone their chip.

davyboy   19 #53 Posted August 21, 2017 Chip readers could be installed at every street corner so that everyone's whereabouts would be known if needed. Wives would know that their husband was in bed with some floozy and not in the pub as he claimed.A bit like that tracker on mobiles except you couldn't turn the chip off!

And what range do you imagine these chips having if they can be read as you move down a street?  ---------- Post added 21-08-2017 at 16:57 ----------  Chip readers could be installed at every street corner so that everyone's whereabouts would be known if needed.

davyboy   19 #57 Posted August 21, 2017 On the news this evening an inventor described a chip the size of a rice grain that can be injected into your hand that can open any modified door or start your car. The chip and injection costs £250 and the door £5K!  ---------- Post added 21-08-2017 at 19:44 ----------  Apart from the horrible invasion of privacy, again this is trivially defeated using tinfoil, or a jammer, or cloning another chip, or having it removed.
