Dear MEL Topic Readers,

The microchip implants that let you pay with your hand

If you use a credit card, debit card, or mobile payment, and if you frequently go out and use those payment methods, there is a new option for you. Implanting a microchip in your hand that holds your payment information. Once implanted, you just need to put your hand closer to the contactless card reader instead of putting your card or smartphone. The cashier might be surprised to find the payment goes through just like with a plastic card. You won’t have to worry about your wallet or cardholder when you go out shopping any longer. Also, implantable microchips can hold other information, such as door locks, personal ID, insurance, driver’s license, and social security. When businesses, communities, and societies agree on unified standards, one implanted chip does all payments and ID checks. What will then thieves try to steal if there is no wallet? How can they steal the microchip information from a person?

Enjoy reading the article and learning about microchip implants for humans.
