The Microchip Revolution Has Changed the Meaning of Privacy and Self-Determination.

Microchipping is a method by which a tiny semi-conductor is implanted within an inanimate or organic object.

The reasons for doing so are information gathering.

The information so far has mostly had to do with retail tracking, and with the monitor and function of electronic equipment.

Some people may not want to have their material possessions implanted with tracking devices, but it is now a routine issue.

Cell phones have microchips, this implies that many people, who always carry their cell phones, could ostensibly be tracked.

Medical technology is proceeding in which medicine delivery systems are implanted via microchip for the health of the patient.

Also, the microchips can contain recorded medical information about the patient, in the event of an emergency.

A patient’s medical information, medication, and names of doctors can be included and read if needed.

Pets can be implanted with microchips in case of loss; they would be identifiable.

Some people have had microchips implanted for the reason of identification; but also for the purpose of simplifying admittance to buildings and inability to loose or have stolen their keys.

DNA microchips are in the process of development for the purpose of bio-analytical purposes.

The DNA of a patient is extracted using the microchip process, to analyze and eventually treat the ailing person.

Who Controls these Processed?

The microchip, in an of itself, does little.

In order for this technology to be effective, a human somewhere needs to read, record, and make use of the information.

If this is the case, several questions come to mind.

Who are the people with the spotless ethics that we will trust with our most personal information..

Who will ensure that the information will be used only for the intentions specified?

Are we sure the microchips are functioning only in the capacity stated to the individual in question?

If we are sure the information is used only for benign purposes, how can we be sure that will continue into the future?

If the information is private, what happens when the political landscape shifts?

Most have watched in dismay as the political landscape shifts, whether one way or another.

Ultimately, how much of our personal world should be entrusted to the “other”.

Microchip Revolution

The microchip revolution can be any revolution. This is not the only technology. Science has the wherewithal to develop anything.

The microchip is an interesting construct, in that it creates a permanent tagging system to the user.

Why Permanent Branding?

The microchip revolution has created a system by which the providers of the “service” retain a permanent and intrusive record of the populace.

Why are Americans so sure that the holders of the information will always be benign?

What happens when the climate shifts and the exposure of millions of people to malignant forces occur?.
