Having a small implant under your skin so you no longer have to carry around ID's and whatnot, you can do many things at work electronically using your hands.
The syringe slides in between the thumb and index finger. Then, with a click, a microchip is injected in the employee's hand. Another "cyborg" is created.
What could pass for a dystopian vision of the workplace is almost routine at the Swedish startup hub Epicenter. The company offers to implant its workers and startup members with microchips the size of grains of rice that function as swipe cards: to open doors, operate printers, or buy smoothies with a wave of the hand.
The injections have become so popular that workers at Epicenter hold parties for those willing to get implanted.

Neat if you want a private company have the ability to track you 24/7. Especially because as an employee you have so much control and insight to what the company does with the information they gather.
But hey, what's privacy when you can be "part of the future."
Hell yeah! The sheer convenience would be so cool. No more having to carry cash or credit cards around. I would be first in line. It would be a much safer and more efficient way to work.
For people making the criticism that they are "losing freedoms", microchips can't read your mind or take over your body and make you commit horrible atrocities while you look on in horror, that's for movies silly..

You could never predict how it could be used. To pretend that it could *only* be used for one purpose is being ignorant.
Remember, the technology offered to the public is about 50 years BEHIND what the technology that is used by govenrments behind closed doors.
To GIVE UP yourself so you don't have to carry a credit card? I sincerely hope this was a troll post, not someone seriously believing that the convenience of not having a card in your pocket is an appropriate tradeoff.
