COMPANY WILL MICROCHIP WORKERS

A tech company in Wisconsin – Three Square Market in River Falls – will be the first in the U.S. to offer microchip implants to employees. The tiny chip, about the size of a grain of rice, uses radio-frequency identification to allow them to do a wide variety of tasks instantaneously. So far, more than 50 workers have already signed up for the chip implant so they can make in-house purchases, open doors and unlock office equipment like copy machines and office computers. The chip can be implanted “within seconds” in the flap of skin between the user’s thumb and forefinger.
* That sounds like a fine idea, Comrade.
* Gee, is it 1984 already?
* The new company slogan is, “Stop Picking At It.”
* And so the epidemic of thumb cancer begins.
* Not to mention criminals chopping off your hand so they can go open your bank account.
* I can’t live with tiny torn cuticle. How am I supposed to tolerate a chip implant?
