Should humans use identity chips?

Identity Chips… what are they, evolution, and should humans be implanted?
As society progresses through this technological age, several advancements are being made
to bring everyone closer to forms of cybernetic implants, allowing several convenient but
complex ways to store personal information and use it with a microchip in the human body.
These new forms of technological advancement called human microchip implants (MI), also
known as identity chips, are taking the world to a controversial debate on whether it will be
beneficial or a potential problem. As Olufemi Ariyo wrote, “It can create new divides between
those who have them and those who do not (Ariyo, 2023, paragraph 5).” This paper will explain
the Identity microchip, its evolution to human use, and the potential problems and benefits. What are Identity Chips?
An identity chip is a small device the size of a grain of rice placed within a human body. The
most common areas are the brain or the hand in the interdigital fold between the index finger and
thumb. These little devices can be used for many things, for instance, to store personal
identification, medical history, purchase information, and smart car/house functions. The
microchip uses radio waves and r
adio Frequency Identification (RFID) to communicate with
other devices and systems
. According to science professor Anja Žnidaršič, “RFID tags have the
ability to use encryption and authentication, have two-way communication, and can store and
transmit large amounts of data at high speed and over short distances (
Žnidaršič et al., 2022).
”
The two types are passive and active microchips. Active has its battery and can transmit
distances with larger storage space; passive does not have a battery and contains a unique
identifier code. The most common microchip implant being used is passive RFID, which can

also include a near-field communication (NFC) combination that can be used to make purchases
near the system reader. Evolution of Identity Chips
An article written in the Journal of Technology Management & Innovation by Charles Smith presents a timeline of how RFID chips evolved starting in World War II to help identify who was an enemy or ally fighter in their planes and uniforms. Passive RFID was introduced after the war, and between the 1960s and 1980s, it was starting to be used to track hazardous materials, cattle, and railway cars. “
In the 1980s, RFID took off with automated payments (Smith, 2008).” After this, RFID chips were starting to be introduced into the healthcare sector, from equipment tracking to prosthetic uses. Society started implementing these devices in personal pets to track movement, biometrics, and storing personal medical information. By 2004,
the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved a version of the RFID microchip to be used in patients for medical use purposes. Once this approval passed, it opened the door to the
evolution of the microchip implant it is today. Human Identity Chip Implants Benefits and Disadvantages
With any technological advancement, there will always be benefits and drawbacks that can prevent a device from moving forward in society. Starting with the benefits, the microchip can store a patient’s medical file for immediate access in an emergency and help medical providers act fast in a life-or-death situation. The microchips can also be implanted to link prosthetics limbs for function and many other benefits like measuring vital signs, levels, and can distribute medications. Most of these functions are used in daily lives with several smart devices

Hello! I have a topic to discuss for tommorow!
The question goes like this:
Discuss how the genetic basis of life plays a central role in biotechnology. Further, ethical considerations aside, if DNA-based technologies became widely used, discuss how they might change the way evolution proceeds, as compared with the natural evolutionary mechanisms that have operated for the past 4 billion years.

How would you recommend addressing the potential ethical issues in the study?
This study analyzed the research trends in the field of digital twins by examining metadata from 9639 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023. We processed the metadata using an NLP-based toolkit and manually labeled each article with its most relevant application field. Using the KCN methodology, we performed temporal research trend analysis, mapping popular sensing technologies to six application fields and identifying representative examples of digital twins in each field. For researchers, this analysis provides a comprehensive view of the field's development, identifying key areas for future exploration. For architects, the findings highlight technological applications and…

As an expert or have knowledge about ergonomics, what are your thoughts on implementing procedures to prevent injuries in the kitchen or in a hotel? Moreover, thoughts on being in a digital era in which gadgets or VR can be a help in making the workplace uncomplicated.
Examples of scenarios are the housekeepers and cooks:
San Francisco hotel employees reported work-related pain or discomfort. That same year, the American Journal of Industrial Medicine published another study that reported that 62% of all housekeeping injuries were identified as musculoskeletal disorders, such as tendinopathy and arthritis.
The biggest problem in the kitchen, though, is heat. While this not only presents physical health risks, it also creates stress in an already high-pressure environment. “If you take the heat out of the kitchen, it becomes more calm and collected,” explains Pedretti. “So you have to look at the type of equipment you put in there.”
