In September 2016, Dr Oz did a story on RFID chips. He was interested in the story and asked his producer to do a little digging. What he found were only benefits because you could now be tracked “like your pets or your phone.” However, given what we KNOW about government surveillance and snooping, we should be worried.
In spite of that, apparently, 10,000 people have already had microchips embedded in their bodies. Expecting the chip to function as someone’s driver’s license, keys, passport, wallet and credit card, etc., the chip will effectually hand even more of your privacy, autonomy and independence over to banks and the government.
The producer was also elated that the microchips would allow government officials and doctors to instantly, “with just a swipe”, see our entire medical history, date of birth, insurance, blood type, allergies, medication list, and much, much more.
Scary? End of Update.
Just last week, an NBC News report aired touting the benefits of microchipping children and stating that it would happen “sooner rather than later”. Sadly, many Americans will accept the process as something normal and follow right along. However, the idea sounds simply preposterous to me. I think most moms reading this would agree- they don’t want their children microchipped.
The NBC report goes on to detail a mother of three, Steffany Rodroguez-Neely, who briefly lost her daughter after she hid behind a rack of clothes (something I’ve heard from friends is terrifying but totally normal). Reacting out of fear, she now believes, “If it’ll save my kid, there’s no stuff that’s too extreme. Micro-chipping would be an extra layer of protection, if something bad does happen,” according to Info Wars.
Many experts feel that microchipping children is both safe and inevitable; there is no concern that “big brother” is tracking their children, the technology is merely an upgrade on the traditional barcode.
Electronics expert Stuart Lipoff: “People should be aware that testing is being done right now. The military is not only testing this out, but already utilizes its properties. It’s not a matter of if it will happen, but when. When barcodes first came out in the late 1960s, people were appalled. They were wary of them and did not understand the concept. Today, it is so commonplace, we don’t even notice it. A microchip would work much in the same way.”
Regardless, just because some people think drinking 4 diet sodas a day is ok, and they are technically “fine”, doesn’t mean I’m going to do the same thing. I wouldn’t want a chip in my kids and I don’t want a chip in myself either. I’m not sure how free we are if someone knows where we are at all times, knows what we are eating, how much we are sleeping, when our last sexual encounter or bowel movement was. This technology has merit built out of fear and that’s no way to live.
