http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2016/01/21/are-implanted-chips-future-boarding-passes.html RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification. It refers to small electronic devices that consist of a small chip and an antenna. The chip typically is capable of carrying 2,000 bytes of data or less. The RFID device serves the same purpose as a bar code or a magnetic strip on the back of a credit card or ATM card; it provides a unique identifier for that object. RFID device must be scanned to retrieve the identifying information. RFID is said to be a new way to be identified in the future as it can be planted in the human body. This can be good not for the transportation sector alone, but all the place that you have to issue identification cards. This RFID will contain all your information like you have it on your driver’s license or passport. The above article looks at a sample of RFID called near-field communication (NFC) and how it will be used at the airport. The question now is does it make sense to plant RFID on your body for Identification purpose? Will strong religious people implant this on their body for identification sake?

Solution

People will always question or deny to use anything that they do not understand. Every newly invented thing has its own pros and cons.

Though, it will be convenient for users to carry all the information attached to their body and there will not be any hassle to carry different cards for different puposes and their would be no tension of the cards getting lost. On the other hand, there might be some medical side effects of the chip implanted on the body and most important thing, as mentioned in the link in the question, if a person has a NFC reader then one can steal all the information which makes it more vulnerable.

There are people who are looking forward to use this technology and will find it helpful who travel often as it will save them a lot of time like making financial transactions quickly or where they need to display multiple ID\'s at various places and also for people for whom information security is the main concern.

Also, there are people who will never accept its existence as it will be against their rituals or customs and its not only limited to religious people only, half of the world population are still technologically deprived and will find it difficult to adapt to such advancement.

Until and unless its not sure that this new technology does not have any medical concerns and do not threaten the human life in any way, concerns will always be there. There\'s a long way to go to deploy such thing with full power, but once it becomes it surely will change the face of the future.
