People in Sweden Get a Chip in Their Hands

Not to sound cliché here, but the future is now! Technology is getting closer than you think…like under your skin!
It all started in Sweden in the spring of 2018. Since then, about 4,000 people have gotten microchips put into their hands. Although this recent implantable form is new to us, the technology has been around for decades. For example, ear chips are used to register almost all farm animals. And this implantable chip for people is supposed to make our lives a lot easier. The chip is tiny, and it’s surgically inserted into the hand in the area between the thumb and index finger. In this video, we'll tell you what is this thing actually for.

SUMMARY:
- This little procedure is as painful as getting a shot, so you might just flinch if you're super sensitive, but that's it.
- People who have this microchip can use it as a pass card to enter buildings, as a bank card to pay for anything they want, to get train or concert tickets, and even as a key to start their car! You can also use it to get access to all your social media accounts.
- A chip is basically a storage place for digital information. It can contain not only the details of your bank accounts and your purchases, your ID, and passwords to your house, office, and social media profiles, but also medical information, such as your blood type or a list of things you're allergic to.
- he company that manufactures these microchips is planning to invent implants that can track a wearer’s live vital signs and inform them when there’s something wrong with their health.
- Some skeptics are sure that these chips will soon have GPS trackers in them. It’s quite possible that it’ll all start with big companies wanting to track their employees’ locations. The fact that certain businesses want to provide this service for free is really what got people a little uneasy about this point.
- There were concerns that a small metallic foreign body could trigger cancer. But the risks of cancer caused by RFID have since been found to be virtually nonexistent for humans and negligible for animals.
- Doctors started implanting electronic devices and machine-like metal into people a long time ago. The first ever electrocardiac pacemaker implantation was performed in 1958 at the Karolinksa Institute in Sweden by surgeons Rune Elmqvist and Åke Senning.
- Another example of technology helping people live longer and more comfortably is bionic prosthetics. They’re built to imitate the work of a lost organ, and they work through nerve impulses.
