People in Sweden Are Upgrading Their Hands, and It Makes Us a Little Scared

Many people in Sweden have been starting to get chipped since the spring of 2018. People get a chip surgically inserted between their thumb and index finger which then replaces all plastic cards, keys, and other things that people usually have to carry with them. And if last year around only 100 people had these chips, then now, according to Daily Mail, this number has risen to more than 4,000 people and it’s still growing.

No more that carrying a credit card makes you a drone. Or a cell phone. Actually, it's a race between discrete chips and biometrics, really. Face scans at the airport. Iris scanning. One way or another, we will all eventually be uniquely identified. The face scanners are already being installed.
