The technological advancement that has occurred within the last twenty years alone has proven just how prodigious the capabilities of the human mind are. Arguably, the most anticipated innovations of this generation have been the radio frequency identification implants. RFID implants use radio frequency electromagnetic fields to identify and track the locations of objects, animals, and most recently, humans. While implanting these devices in humans is a considerably large step for the development and improvement of modern technology, it has also become quite controversial. There are various pros and cons relative to the implantation of RFID devices in humans. Each standpoint can be supported with valid evidence explaining why or why not RFID…show more content… It is normal for a traveler to carry a passport and/or a ticket while commuting. However, what humans consider regular methods of travel may be changing very soon. Some airports, bus stations, train stations are already transitioning to accompany the usage of implants in place of passports. If an RFID device is implanted into a person’s arm, he/she could be identified by simply walking through a reader. The personnel of an airport could scan a traveler’s arm to validate his/her identity. These implants, otherwise known as “chips,” can also be used by employees themselves. Several businesses have given workers the option to be “chipped.” This could make it easier to log on to computers, open doors, make purchases, and much more. The implants would essentially replace a key card or any other device used for employee identification. Along with identification, RFID can also track the location of the subject in which it is implanted. This could easily appeal to concerned parents who wish to take precautionary measures to keep their children safe. Abduction has become an extremely apparent issue as approximately two-thousand children are reported missing on a daily basis. RFID implantation could assist parents or the authorities in keeping children safe. Likewise, many elders suffering from diseases such as Alzheimer's or dementia can often wander away…show more content… The recurring idea of fear of unknown outcomes plays a large role in the discernment of implanting RFID devices in humans. A rather strong concern of the public in relation to implanting RFID chips in humans is personal privacy. When businesses give employees the option to receive an implant, the main purpose is to simplify daily tasks at work. Most workers may not realize that allowing companies to scan the chips also gives the employers complete access to their location. This could become unsafe or simply unnerving for the civilian who has received the implantation. Unconditional privacy could seem unachievable in this scenario. Another main concern of a copious number of people is theft prevention. The current features of the radio frequency identification devices are indeed astounding. Be as that may, the security of someone’s information is not completely infrangible. Different types of bugs and glitches will always exist. Unfortunately, it has become rather common for hackers to gain access to valuable information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers. This could easily lead to stolen identities. In essence, data leaks are far from impossible using this technology. An additional fear is what kind of physical damage the implants could be do to the human body. In actuality, there is not a great deal of information to
