Was having a little think last night about the possibilities of being micro chipped now this may sound a bit radical but this would be pretty cool.

I was thinking what if the government made like a 2.5 x 2.5 cm chipped placed under your wrist with the ability to record movements, body readings, personal id, even holding credit like a mini cash card. Can you imagine how good this would be in solving crimes for example; a little box in police stations to scan the chip which can read evidence up to 2 months then be projected via computer software into a visual module of the culprit and all the police would have to do is try and get pictures of the scene then watch the movements within the scene and add them up together.

What about having a little portable box in the home that you can scan for heart readings, calorie control and blood pressure this surely would tempt people? Or how about when you are outside at the cash point to have finger print reading access instead of pins then just swipe your wrist and load on the cash go into a Tesco’s store for example and use the self service just swipe and the credit will be taken out. How about if police set up micro chip readers at airports, train stations, tube stations etc that can read and signal when a terrorist or a dangerous criminal is there?

I think this would be the future and should be tested on criminals first then when the whole “scared” factor comes crashing down people like us should get it.

Cheers
 
The way you get so defensive makes me laugh, grab a drink and relax, all i know is Hitler done bad things in Germany that's what I thought he was on about.

I'm sure you'll find he didn't restrict his "bad things" to Germany either.

I thought you said you were a student IS? Please tell me you didn't study history, politics, or even geography come to think of it
 
Warbs I have no idea bout history, politics or geography just thought this idea would be good for the future of the human race.

didnt mean to cause a stir up
 
Where is the stir up?

Is one senior member disagreeing with another a "stir up"!

God they'll be saying it's cliquey on here....

Read some George Orwell IS.
 
Microchipping people would lead us further down the big brother society route. Also im pretty sure that it would be easily manipulated!!
 
I've long thought that it will eventually come to pass, anyway. We've meekly accepted our position as the most-surveilled society in the world, apparently, and the majority of the public has been brainwashed into repeating the mantra that "there's no problem unless you've got something to hide". What I'd like is my privacy back, please - not that I'll get it, of course, as little villages and town centres clamour for more and more speed cameras to register our journeys, however innocuous, and for more and more CCTVs to capture our images - however fuzzy, and frequently useless in deterring crime or determining identity. Microchipping babies at birth, like microchipping dogs, cats, horses, and a wide variety of other animals, is likely to happen within the coming century. It'll be promoted in our own interests, of course, or we might have some reservations. It'll store your blood group, your DNA profile, your personal details like religion, nationality, gender, etc., your police record, your medical history... why, what could be more useful if you have a nasty accident and need attention? And once again, "you have nothing to fear if you've done nothing wrong".
 
And a mobile phone that can monitor your movements to within 100 yds and plastic cards that can tell anybody what your consumption patterns are. Indeed, Experian even used the plethora of intelligence they gathered on people to predict the result of an election and got everyone of about 80 constituencies correct.

The only time I've ever wondered about micro-chipping people is for hostage taking purposes esepcially as we never seem to know where a captive is being held?
 
Well it would only happen under the labour party (even stronger chance if Nick Clegg gets in) but thankfully if Mr Cameron gets his chance I don't see it happening.

That should postpone it for as long as you can see a tory government in power. Saying that, Alan Johnson's finally ditched the I.D card scheme so you never know....what the labour party will be saying in a few years time.

Really?:blink:

I heard them announce that they weren't going to introduce them for flight side staff at certain airports, but I didn't think they'd walked away from it period
 
Depends how you read the rhetoric and message, Warbs?

What surely can not be denied is a huge shift from the previous home secretary's position, found here.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7712275.stm

I just googled it to double check the facts. Johnson says he is genuinely sypathetic to the human rights argument, and has ordered a urgent review.

The way I understood it was he would not be going through with the airport stage of the scheme which pretty much ment it was game over.

Just my intepretation though.

ps, the article below seems to be most bullish about the nature of the change.

Warbs, trust you to go for the Robert Ludlum scenario! Microchipping would be very good for helping to find lost or abducted children, equally locating the wandering dementia patient, or the just plain lost - say on a day in the Cairngorms. (It might well locate abductees in Yemen or Peru, too, but extracting them could be the really difficult bit.) I can see that in an age where the favourite paranoia is the abduction of small children, having them chipped and a good satellite tracking system to locate them, might well rain on that particular trade's parade.

Clearly, chipping crims is another positive use - you could more or less imprison them via a chip with inbuilt shock system. They wander out of their 'freedom zone' (I like a good non sequitur when I see one), the satellite detects it and sends a sharp 'zap!' which temporarily disorients them. Further misbehaviour begets a paralyzing zap, allowing the police to locate the naughty one at leisure, retrieve him, and put him in real jail for a time. I'm sure this was in a film, wasn't it - what was it? Or was it one of the items I sent to the Patent Office...
 
That second paragraph is decidely Orwellian in flavour, Krizon!

PS - Irish Stallion, how would one accommodate a fax? :whistle:

If any regime tries to start microchipping the population we'll all need to lose ourselves in the Carirngorms
