Some thing just catch your eye and unnerve you. This was the case with this article I read earlier today. The primary focus of the article is about implant chips to track who you are and where you are going. Sort of On-Star for people. Of course this is raising eyebrows from the civil liberties crowd who dream of a Big Brother system where the government or some corporation can track us at all times.

These of course are possible. However, I think the concept will work its way in in time. Now, cars are sold with On-Star trackers all the time. People have GPS in their phones and talk about the wonders of it. Why not have a chip that can identify you and work your credit for any purchase with the wave of a hand. Imagine, no more credit cards to carry. You just wave your hand over a scanner and it automatically deducts the money from your account. You could do the same with large purchases such as a car or a house where the central loan department is located. Sounds good doesn't it?

Now imagine a higher person controlling who could buy what based on whether a person had said chip or not. Imagine the power such a person would have. It would take a while for such a person to amass that much power and the technology isn't quite there yet. The markets would need a nasty drop off to resort to such single control as well. But its certainly possible.

And if you think about things from the same perspective I do... inevitable.
