Stew to ditch his Google Glasses and Apple Watch for the latest implant craze by why not just debit/credit? 07/25/2017, 10:50am PDT
Wisconsin continues to prove itself as a shit state.

The RFID (Radio Frequency ID) chips would allow those employees who volunteer to participate in the program to open doors, pay for purchases, share business cards, store medical information, pay for stuff at other RFID terminals and login to their computers … all with a wave of the hand.

“Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.,” chief executive Todd Westby wrote in a blog post announcing the program, claiming it would be the first of its kind in the United States.

A Swedish organization named Epicenter began doing the same thing earlier this year, and its workers seem to love it. “People ask me, ‘Are you chipped?’ and I say, ‘Yes, why not,’ ” one Epicenter employee said in this CNBC report from April. “And they all get excited about privacy issues and what that means and so forth. And for me it’s just a matter of I like to try new things and just see it as more of an enabler and what that would bring into the future.”



How fast would you be sending out the resume if your office started putting up "Are you chipped?" posters.
