The Inspiration

Many people are moving to store their credit cards, access cards to their home/ office into their smartphones to make their lives more convenient. However, phones can be lost or being hacked. In recent years, scientists are experimenting embedding small chip in humans to store their personal data that can be extracted by other devices.

• More than 3,000 Swedish implanted tiny microchips beneath their skin to replace their credit card, identification, keys, train tickets, among other everyday items. 
• Three Square Market is the first company in the US to offer its employees free and voluntary microchip implants.

How It Works

• The small implants use Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, the same as in contactless credit cards or mobile payments.
• When activated by a reader a few centimetres away, a small amount of data flows between the two devices via electromagnetic waves.
• The implants function as swipe cards: to open doors, operate printers, book and buy train tickets online.
• The implants are 'passive,' meaning they contain information that other devices can read, but cannot read information themselves.
• But, experts say the ethical dilemmas will become bigger the more sophisticated the microchips become.
