VeriChip - Apocalipsa

Digital Angel, a combination of hardware and services that gives caregivers the ability to track a lost patient--say, someone with Alzheimer's who has wandered away from a care facility.

The idea of surreptitiously tracking people usually makes the pro-privacy lobby see red, although privacy advocates have indicated a willingness to make an exception in the case of a person who can get lost in his or her own home.

WELL, THE OTHER SHOE has dropped. The company behind Digital Angel has announced a new ID chip that can be used in people, or at least once the FDA gives its approval. People who see this as a frightening development are already calling it "Digital Devil" and invoking various Biblical prophesies of doom. I think that is taking it too far, but even paranoia has a point.

If you are familiar with the ID implants used for dogs, cats, cows, and other animals, you pretty much have the concept nailed. If you spend a moment thinking about the uses of this technology, called VeriChip and introduced by Florida-based Applied Digital Solutions, there are some very good ideas.
