What can’t we do with technology? Every time the majority of the population catches up to the latest technological advances, a whole new generation comes out. It’s hard to except the fact that we’ve come to the point in our advancement where humans are now being outfitted with robotic limbs, basically creating robot-human crossbreeds on various levels .
Now we’re looking beyond how we use these advancements in our external world and we’re starting to discover ways of internalizing our technology. Microchips are becoming the way of the future. They claim to keep our passwords safe, store our information, track us with the potential of saving our lives, even read our minds, but to what end?
Now the government can spy on our every move, even what we ate for dinner or how long we took in the shower that morning, or what we think or feel about the government itself. Are we really creating an easier life for ourselves or are we providing the government with a new way of tracking us? Continue reading on the next page.
More citizens are against this. It would probably be impossible to enforce it.
Amen!
OK for dogs not me.
No
I can’t agree with you more!

Once the chips are required for services (payments, medical care, etc.), the gate keepers of this chip will have the ability to deny access, just like today with your bank card… it can be deactivated within their system, denying you access. This happens today, when your assets are frozen. However, you still can use services if you have cash. If you don’t have cash, you can garage sale your stuff, collect cans & bottles, etc. This means there is still away to survive, even without access to the credit/bank system.
The fundamental flaw of the cashless-chip system is the corruption of our government. When someone is deemed to be against their rule, they’d be deactivated, without trial or jury. This means you’d effectively be homeless, bumming for food, even if you were within the law or justified. Ultimately, going completely cashless will be the end of lawful government.
Secondly, this chip system is not unhackable. As a software developer, I can guarantee it’s only a matter of time. Computers are becoming ever faster, and the thieves are always catching up with the technology. Once the chips have become widespread, they will be hacked, and identity fraud will be come rampant. Is the software in these chips going to be capable of being updated (think of Windows Update)? How will that work? Will you need to stand near a specific machine to get the updates? Will you be able to trust the source of the updates? (Home Depot had their debit card readers infected with a worm that was harvesting consumer card numbers and pins back in 2014.) These are huge questions that must be answered before we blindly accept such technology.
I’m against both, but…The govt wants to push it and they also want to push the refugees. Chip the refugees so they can be tracked.
Brenton Shaffer —Well said. It only makes the situation more dire. The average lay person will only see the apparent advantages and not the abundant peril. The problem I see with using cash is that I believe the system will eventually replace cash entirely and cash will be worthless. Then the only way around the system is a return to the barter system.
Like hell they will!!
