Microchip Implants Coming Soon

Microchip implants are coming soon, and human trials have already begun. British researcher Mark Gasson, for example, injected a microchip into his hand five years ago and has been using it ever since, according to Business Insider.

“Is the human body an appropriate place for a microchip?” Gasson asked at a 2012 TEDX Talk. “Can we enhance our body by implanting technology into it?”

Gasson seems to think that we can — after all, the vision of microchip implants is to make human lives easier. So, Gasson decided to conduct the great experiment: he had a microchip inserted into his hand. The microchip enables him to enter rooms with a wave of his hand unlock his smartphone just by holding it. Gasson said the microchip works basically like “a tiny implantable computer.”

During the TEDX Talk, Gasson explained how we already implant technology in our bodies to enhance our capabilities, like pacemakers and insulin pumps, for example.

“These devices form very intimate connections between the biology of the body and the silicon of technology,” Gasson said.

Basically, Gasson is saying that we shouldn’t be too concerned about sticking “tiny computers” in our skin because we already install false hearts in our chests.

“We’re very interested in the security of medical devices,” Gasson said. “A lot of medical devices have no access control.”

Gasson’s microchip is an RFID, which stands for radio frequency identification. This means that the microchip obtains information by reading other devices.

“Imagine technology being able to feed information directly to us, no matter what we’re doing,” Gasson said.

Microchips, according to Gasson, will become like mobile phones: the cellphone is now so necessary to every day life that a person is practically dysfunctional without one. Soon, microchip implants will become so normal and so integrated into our normal lives that we won’t be able to imagine not using them.

Already, researchers like Gasson are walking around with microchip implants. The company Dangerous Things put together a microchip implant kit which you can buy for $99 on their website.

“Are these the cyborgs of science fiction? Well, yes, I believe they are,” Gasson said. “And I believe there’s a very good chance in the future that you may become one of them too.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
