Implanting a memory chip into the brain can acquire a lot of knowledge without blowing off dust. Perhaps most people have only seen it in Hollywood movies, but in fact, this chip implantation technology has quietly emerged around the world. According to Red Star journalists, there are more than 1 10,000 "chip people" from Sweden, Belgium, Czech Republic and other corners of the world, and the era of Hollywood-style semi-robot has quietly arrived.

Chip implantation technology is a multifunctional intelligent technology, which can help people to carry out many daily activities. At present, some companies have used it on their employees to help them better handle their work and carry out their daily activities.
[Question]:
What is the use of chip implantation technology?

At the beginning of April, Epicenter, a technology innovation company in Stockholm, Sweden, successfully implanted the chip into the hands of 150 employees. Patrick Mai Stirton, CEO of the company, said that the biggest advantage of this technology is convenience. With a wave of your hand, you can open the entrance guard, start the company printer, open the locker, buy drinks at the company, even buy a plane ticket, and go to the local gym to exercise. He pointed out that in addition to replacing credit cards and keys, chips can also be used as information storage, recording password information and talking with communication software such as smart phones. It can also be personalized according to needs, start the car, set up a home security alarm system, control personal guns, and connect various intelligent devices.
The process of implanting a chip is very simple. Just press a button, and the syringe with the chip installed in advance will inject the chip the size of a grain of rice into the muscle next to the thumb. The whole process only takes a few seconds, and they can't hear their screams at all, or even see a drop of blood in most cases. According to the Red Star journalist, the chip adopts non-contact short-distance transmission technology. As a passive device, the chip can't read data by itself, and it needs a reader several centimeters away to start and transmit data between devices through electromagnetic waves. The company's chief creative officer said that the technology used in this chip itself is not a preface. It was used to track pets and express delivery a long time ago, but it has never been applied to humans on such a large scale.
Although chip implantation technology has brought many conveniences to human intelligent life, the hidden dangers of privacy and information security brought by this technology have aroused experts' doubts. Ben Liberton, a microbiologist in karolinska institutet, Stockholm, pointed out that hackers can get a lot of information from this implanted chip. The more powerful the chip, the more serious the information security problem. In theory, hackers can obtain personal information such as people's health data, whereabouts and work rules. Once these data are stolen, what kind of use will have great security risks. However, Mai Stilton thinks that personal mobile phone or internet search history is more threatening to privacy than using chips, so it is necessary to worry, but putting things in your body has made great progress. Epicenter implantation is not particularly worried about privacy issues, and most of them are just trying new things.
Around the world, more and more companies and technology enthusiasts are experiencing this experience called biological hacking. For example, Newfusion, a Belgian digital marketing and technology company, once asked employees to voluntarily implant chips, and Paralelni Polos, a Czech non-profit organization, also conducted bitcoin transactions through this implanted chip. At present, more than 1 10,000 people around the world have implanted chips, and even sellers sell DIY implant devices online. Some experts believe that human implantation may be an inevitable stage of human evolution in the future.
But at this stage, I don't know whether chip implantation will limit job-hopping. After all, if you change jobs, you have to change chips. No one wants to have a minor operation every three days.
