New Chip Implanted Under The Skin To Replace Credit Cards?

Applied Digital Solutions, a US based company has made a new chip called 'VeriChip' which is a Radio Frequency Identification chip which when scanned can deduct money from your bank account.

A Spanish nightclub which is having implant nights on Tuesday's will be the first to use the chip, giving clubbers the chance to pay for drinks and admission and not have to wait in a queue.

The chip doesn't have to be implanted just into the hand, but the chip can be injected into any other part of the body that is able to be flashed in front of the scanner.

Dunno how accurate the story is.

Right. And they're going to tattoo bar codes to our foreheads.

That just freaks me out.

And what's to keep someone with their own hacked scanner from walking next to you and emptying your bank account? I just don't like it.

That just seems too Big Brother/Brave New World for me. I'd like to remain as anonymous as possible when it comes to my personal identifiable information. Technology is great, but even good things can go too far.

From Revelations:

Edited to add: So yeah, it will be a cold day in hell before I get that mark lol.

" And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. "

So this chip could be the "mark of the beast"? Interesting...

Thanks for finding that... was about to go get my Bible to see where it said something about it.

I wonder if this actually will prevent or at least reduce identity thief. Still, it is creepy!

[AlethiaSi]

honestly- i'm not surprised that companies are suggesting it- in london- there are cameras on every corner- and practically every building- there are always people watching everywhere...ads all over- i woulnd't be surprised if we were living in a minority report like world soon enough....

[cashmoney]

I dont like it.

Okay but who is the Anti Christ? Is it Bill Gates or Prince Charles? And also, in that book of Revlations, weren't there three of them? The Beast, The AntiChrist, and um...Satan I guess, who knows? In an interesting side note, all hebrew letters are given numerical values. If you add up the letters that spell "Jesus" , you get 666.

All hail the New World Order.
