Could you imagine yourself being injected by a hypodermic needle by a latex gloved medical administrator only to realize a small device bear to the eye can have the most dramatic or catastrophic effects for life?  The technological revolution has begun.  A club owner in Holland has decided to allow a system to scan people through a microchip to easily make purchases and to be admitted into a club by scanning without paying with a plastic card or cash.  One of the club owner's guest accepted a chip to be implanted in his arm. Heard of the RFID chip? The Radio Frequency Identity Device (RFID) chip is a control storage identifying integrated circuit device used to include all information (financial, medical, and background). BBC Simon Morton went clubbing and while visiting the VIP Baja Beach Club in Barcelona, Spain back in 2004 received an injection of a chip in his arm.   The chip is already been implanted in devices throughout the globe including clothing, electronics, and It can be The concern is how much invasion of privacy does the chip probe and what are ultimate effects when implanted in the human body.   The chip is as small as a grain of rice and measures around 1.3mm. An article published by Todd Lewan of the Associated Press (AP) "Microchips in Humans Spark Privacy Debate"reported that Sean Darks of the Cincinnati said he compared chips to "retina or fingerprint scanning." Many want to debate about technology progressing in the future especially in Information Systems.  VeriCorps, is the main creator of the chips and has been heavily promoted throughout the glove already distributing thousands.  If this is not disturbing enough, there was a family in Texas who decided to stand in the beliefs that School I.D.'s should not be chipped.  There was also an incident of school educators refusing to accept a chipped ID and were fired for rejecting the chip.  However, privacy advocate of Consumer Education and RFID technology Kathrine Albrecht stated that one day your employer may say "Take the chip, or starve." In real compassion, the change is considerably drastic from the cheerful customer service response "is there anything I can do for you today" to the droid computer buffed voice "Do you have your RFID chip?" In ancient texts, there are warnings about what wrath will come when accepting this chip in the right hand or forehead will manifest.  There is a sure certainty that many will not follow the way of the chip system for righteous sake.  Many speculate on the consequential effects on the chip.
