People are getting chips inserted, official start of machine and human working together !

We as a normal human being, are quite happy to use day to day automation in our daily lives, and by the end of 2020, it is damn sure that we will be seeing hell lot of more automation coming our way. Today When I was going through my LinkedIn profile, I saw a link that leads me to an awesome article and after reading and it and getting blown away by its content, I thought of bringing it to you all, through this tech blog of mine.

According to the  New York Times, Three Square Market, a Wisconsin vending machine software firm, offers its employees the opportunity to inject microchips into their hands so they can open office doors, log in to computers, share business cards, and even buy snacks with just a wave.Rather than using the normal RFID cards that we tend to use in our offices for getting access and for various other things, this company is offering its employees the opportunity of injecting the RFID chips directly into their hands and then use it according to their needs and requirements, isn't it cool? it is.

The Chip insertion process is not very painful,  it is a nonsurgical process and as per the reports, it only feels like a normal piercing process with a very little or no pain. 

Three Square Market, the software firm, is chipping its employees (who volunteer to get chipped) with passive RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips. These chips are activated when they are in the proximity of radio-frequency (RF) waves generated by a reader. Once the chip is “awake,” the reader has access to the information embedded in the chip. The effective range of most RFID readers is a few millimeters to a few meters. However, the range can vary dramatically depending on the power of the system being used to read the chips.

If an individual work in a very secure environment, one where he/she needs to use a keycard to navigate between offices and other areas in their respective building, chipping is a pretty convenient option. The idea that it can also be used to identify you as an authenticated user of various kinds of hardware and software is also a plus. 

Theoretically, your company-issued RFID implant could be used to unlock the door to your home, turn on lights, unlock and start your car, and on and on. You’d just have to add a bunch of RFID-compatible interfaces to your world.

If you change jobs, there is no reason to have the chip removed, your encrypted RFID number could easily be used by your next employer. To safeguard itself, your previous employer would just remove permission for your RFID number to open doors, log in to terminals, etc. The procedure would be identical to invalidating a key card or revoking log in credentials.

This approach can really prove helpful for the companies if their employees voluntarily get ready for getting chipped, as this can really solve the boring job of carrying your ID card all the time, and by just getting chipped one can simply wave his/her hand and can get the access. 

That's all in this article of mine, sorry for not being able to post articles of late, as I was busy with some work, I hope and believe that from now on I will be posting articles quite often and will share the new technology and innovative news with you all.
