Futuristic Imbedded Computer Chips are a New Form of Plastic

16 May, 2010

If you are tired of carrying a purse or wallet you may be able to have a computer chip imbedded under your skin like James Bond to replace all that stuff in your pockets. Although it sounds like science fiction or high-tech fantasy, the technology for doing this kind of thing has been around for a decade or more – and is already used in some nightclubs around the world.

The body scans technology is mostly used in clubs as a way of offering a cool perk to VIP customers or members. The person’s information is put onto a tiny computer chip and then that chip is surgically placed just beneath the skin, usually on the arm. The computer then carries data such as your birthday – so you can prove you are old enough to get into a bar – along with your identification info and your credit card account basics. You get your arm scanned and the place you are entering gets enough information about you to let you into the club, even if it is private and restricted to people who can prove their identity, and also sufficient data to run a tab and let you buy drinks, food, or other items. A special scanning device at the entrance of the club does it all, so you can show up in a bikini with no pockets and nothing in the way of credit cards or an ID and still identify yourself and get on with enjoying the club.

The advantage to those who have gone to the trouble of having this kind of chip imbedded under their skin is basically two-fold. On the one hand they can now enjoy the relaxation and ease of going into their favorite club without having to remember to bring an ID or credit card. Or maybe they just like the idea of going to the pool, beach, spa, or other place where carrying things is a burden. Afterwards they just pop into the bar or club, get their armed scanned, and that’s that. Of course the other advantage is that having this kind of spy technology carries a huge cool factor with it, so those who are computer chip imbedded can impress others. Who knows, maybe someone will offer to buy you a drink and pay for it like a spy at one of these clubs in Copenhagen or Barcelona.
