Identifying Chips
No bigger than a grain of rice and embedded beneath a person’s skin, the computer identifying chips will be the future ID card someday.
ID cards are easy to counterfeit while the chips are extremely hard to remove or fake. In addition, the chip has no power supply; rather, it has a millimeter-long magnetic coil that is activated when a scanning device is running across the skin above it. A tiny transmitter on the chip sends out the data. But without the scanning device the chip can’t be read. By limiting the use of scanners can people control what the technology is used for. airports, nuclear plants and other high-security facilities to avoid the problem of negligence on the part of security guards. Other uses include satellite tracking of an individual’s energy movement to the storage data such as medical records. So it’s good news for those who are afraid of being kidnapped, requiring paramedical services or suffering from serious allergies. Besides, with chips which can be implanted into animals being made, owners can find the lost pets with ease.
Have you lost your ID card? No, it’s still in your body.

識別晶片
沒有比一粒大米還大，嵌入在一個人的皮膚下，電腦識別晶片將是未來的身份證有一天。
身份證很容易偽造，而晶片是非常難以刪除或偽造。此外，該晶片沒有電源，相反，它有一個毫米長的磁線圈被激活時，掃描設備運行在其上面的皮膚。晶片上的一個微小的發射器傳送數據。但沒有掃描設備，晶片就不能讀取。通過限制掃瞄器的使用，人們可以控制技術的用途。機場、核電站等高安全設施避免部分保全人員疏忽問題。其他用途包括衛星跟蹤個人的能量移動到存儲數據，如醫療記錄。因此，對於那些害怕被綁架的訊息，要求醫療服務或患嚴重過敏。此外，晶片可以植入動物，業主可以找到丟失的寵物輕鬆。
你的身份證丟了嗎?不，它仍然在你的身體裡。
