After a semi-painless injection between the thumb and forefinger, an implant is implanted in the worker. microchip. Just created a cyborg, a human machine!
It sounds futuristic, like science fiction films: a man is implanted with a microchip, and is now under control.
For a Swedish company, however, the practice of microchip implanting in its employees has become routine, and we can say that it is quite popular.
The company Epicenter, εδρεύει στη Στοκχόλμη και οι εργαζόμενοι της περιμένουν ανυπόμονα στην ουρά εντελώς εθελοντικά για να αποκτήσουν το εμφύτευμα του microchip. Η εμφύτευση δεν είναι υποχρεωτική αλλά μέχρι σήμερα υπάρχουν πάνω από 150 άτομα που "φόρεσαν " όπως προαναφέραμε, εντελώς εθελοντικά το εμφύτευμα - ένα micrοchip που έχει περίπου το μέγεθος ενός κόκκου ρυζιού.
But why;
According to the co-founder and CEO of Epicenter Mr. Patrick Mesterton, everything is done for convenience. The implant works as a key to open locked doors, gives the code for the operation of printers, but also works as a credit card for employees to buy something from the snack bar.
It is a modern solution to the problem we all face: transferring too many things.
Of course it is also something that offers better status quo (for the implanted who tell their friends very proudly) , but I'm not sure about that either. Many modern mobile phones use NFC technology to offer the same level of comfort without any other invasive procedure.
Προσωπικά δεν θα ήμουν και τόσο άνετος γνωρίζοντας ότι κάτω από το δέρμα μου κουβαλάω ένα micrοchip, που ποιος ξέρει ποιος μπορεί να το ελέγξει...
