  1. GPS Chips and Implants By: Evan Kelly

  2. The Possibilities • Verichip Corporation has multiple ideas and uses for human chip implants • Patient Identification • Infant Protection • Wander Prevention • Asset Tracking • Access Control • Equipment Management • Vibration Management • Emergency Management

  3. The Technology • Chips use Radio Frequency ID (RFID) to send out a specific signal. • This signal can be read by a specific reader or anyone that knows the ID number of the wearer of the implant

  4. Benefits • Abductees, lost hikers, pets can be found easily • Chips also include medical data for hospitals and emergency services • Can be used by law enforcement for house arrest and probation

  5. Downsides • Right to privacy is in question, especially with the question of whether the government has a right to access the chip data • The early model chips are incredibly easy to hack and clone using simple technology • Many people believe that these chips were predicted by the Book of Revelations and mark the coming of the apocalypse. • While GPS transmission is fairly simple nowadays, the idea of putting a GPS receiver in a single chip is still extremely difficult and may be a while off.

  6. Privacy • “They who can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Ben Franklin • As of now, law allows for cell phone providers to give out their customers GPS data to third parties with the consent of the customer. • Though the privacy act of 1974 allows for protection of individuals, the Freedom of Information Act creates a hazy line as to what exactly is private and what is public domain.

  7. The Future • While RFID technology is already in use and in the market, GPS technology has yet to become miniaturized enough to be used as implants cost effectively. • As of now most GPS products, such as Digital Angel or Wherify Watch, are still external and visible.
