Would you get an I.D chip installed in YOU?

He is.

I started off thinking he was some kind of crazy bigot SJW. I got pretty angry at him at one point.

Then I realised he was showing me, by his own example, how crazy and evil SJWs are.

It's pretty elaborate and I salute his commitment to satire, I think his way works better than mine tbh.

He wants the age of consent to be 25 though, doesn't strike me as very liberal.

[haxartus]

your movements , purchases and any health related activities will be tracked and logged like it or not

Not really.

[Deleted]

Sure, but only if they put it in the left arm.
The right arm might move to much to damage it ...

[owbu]

seems pretty unnecessary to me. I would definetely wait a few years to see what the long term risks are or if there are any.

[Kickbuttmario]

Damn this guy. I recently watched a conspiracy video and now this guy brings this crap up.

Besides, the guy on top confirmed it. Our medical history is already digital, so a doctor can access it anywhere provided you bring some credible ID.

[Lumideta]

The "tin foil hat" is strong in this thread. The government abuses, or any of the mentioned abuses for that matter, can already occur w/o a chip. The practical side of me recognizes that this would be just streamlining of several things we already have (UPay and the such). I would still wait and see what kind of functionality it really had on market.

TLDR version: Yes, but I wouldn't jump in line first day. I'd want to see what all it could do first.

Presumably the RF stands for radio frequency. In which case no, I'd never want so much important information on something so vulnerable to a 14-year-old with revised version of Kali.

[zenkai]

The last thing I want it someone lopping off a body part are digging through my skin to extract a piece of tech to commit fraud.

[Pull My Finger]

No. I'll leave it to the idiots out there to have themselves voluntarily "connected".

[Titan2k10]

I'd get it.

Something like this could have been used to find the aid worker hostage that was killed accidentally by our drowns.

Yeah, not like it wouldn't have been cut out immediately, or worse used to divert resources to the wrong target.....Next

It's also what we do to pets for their safety, which we love.

So now humans are pets?

Not really.

The definition of naive at its finest here.

No. I'll leave it to the idiots out there to have themselves voluntarily "connected".

Seems to me they are just too lazy to keep up with their wallet and would rather risk bodily harm for someone trying to get at this information, not even getting into the tracking shenanigans.

[Meestercat]

I'm genuinely shocked that 40% would.

[haxartus]

The definition of naive at its finest here.

Or maybe I'm not retarded.
Of course, maybe I'm naive for thinking that anyone from a gaming forum would know how radio-frequency identification works. Gamers were supposed to know stuff about technology, but it turns out that all they know is how to mash buttons on a keyboard and act angry.

[Nayami]

Is it a suppository?

Lmfao that comment along with Shinpachi's creepy smirk as your profile picture, you want it to be a suppository don't you you filthy samurai

[Racthoh]

no

[ItachiZaku]

Remember you said that when you need a hip replacement.

Or a sandwich.

[deadman1]

It's like a Tom Cruise movie in here.

These people think so highly of themselves.

[Logwyn]

That completely defeats the purpose, since the ring can be lost or stolen.

If its like the chips they put in dogs and cats then you could be knocked out and have it cut out of you and stolen. Also there could be people that are allergic to it and couldn't have it implanted.

[wwolfwp]

Not happening here period.

[Noradin]

Yes, yes, and yes. No more identity theft to worry about.

If you believe this you are naive.

GPS tracking would also be a great thing. Kid missing? Not anymore. Missing in the woods for 2 weeks? Nope. Trying to find out who was at a crime scene? Easily seen. The govt is not going to track you for shits and giggles. You are not important. I will say that again. You are not important. The govt doesn't give a shit what you're up to.

This state isn't around anymore so it should be considered nation-bashing (wasn't ever a nation to begin with), but here you go: Being 'not important' wont protect you.

[dextersmith]

If it could be proven relatively secured, and could allow you to do bank transactions, allow doctors to review your medical history,

My cards and health records do that sans surgery.

and or start or operate any major device you OWN, would you get a chip installed in you?

My fingers already do that. Relatively secure is meaningless, my computer is relatively secure. Secure government files get hacked all the same. This gives criminals a reason to amputate you.

Interesting, why not even if it could save your life or make life easier?
