Personal Narrative: Microchip Identity

1411 Words3 Pages

Microchip Identity Secretary- “Bridgett Castaway.” Standing up Bridgett walks over to the nurse heading back to the doctor’s office. The nurse takes Bridgett into the first office on the right. The walls are painted a pasty of white, where posters hang on the wall talking about the microchip implant. Bridgett sits on the bed in the middle of the room nervously looking around at the poster. The nurse touches her shoulder, giving her a smile. Secretary- “It’s all right. This process has been done over a thousand times by Dr. Anderson. You have nothing to worry about. It might be a new microchip but it’s the same as it was with all the other microchips. You’ll be in good hands.” Bridgett- “I know, thank you.” As Bridgett finishes talking …show more content…

- In the Article “Will Microchip Implants in Humans Become Mandatory?” it states “[young adults/teens] will leap to be chipped just as they snatch up the latest smart phone. And not only will the technology be convenient, but it will lend an illusion of power. With just a wave of your hands doors will open for you --- literally and figuratively” (Duke3). In the future Microchips will be the new smart phone. This microchip will be the way that they are identified, pay for bills, open doors, and do anything that is required to do in everyday life. Doors will be unlocked by using the microchip and a scanner within the door that can sense the microchips that are registered within the door to let them enter. Doctors will be able to access all medical records by a scan of the microchip. All bills and clubs and everything will be run by the microchip to the point that it will be a requirement for everyone to have a microchip implanted into their body. In the same article it also states “In the future, the most obvious pro, of an implant is that it could be used as an extra means of identification – particularly in passports. If it meant that long passport queues could be by-passed, I believe many people would have such an implant as soon as possible” (Duke3). With the use of a microchip as an identity and use to use all things, it would be very time saving. As well as it will be able to make everyday life just that much easier. While many people are for the microchip identity, there are many others that are leery and are against this microchip idea

    Nevertheless, her attempts are futile as he dismisses her once more, putting his supposed medical opinion above his wife’s feelings. The story takes a shocking turn as she finally discerns what that figure is: a woman. As the story progresses, she believes the sole reason for her recovery is the wallpaper. She tells no one of this because she foresees they may be incredulous, so she again feels the need to repress her thoughts and feelings. On the last night of their stay, she is determined to free the woman trapped behind bars.

  • RFID: We Can But Should We?

    How far is going too far? Imagine a world where an individual’s complete and accurate medical history can be accessed and updated by simply scanning a microchip or radio frequency identification device (RFID) that is implanted into the body. Envision a patient arriving at point-of-care; the chip that is embedding into the patient’s body would be scanned to upload the patients’ health information into the providers’ health information system (HIS). During this encounter, new information would be stored in the HIS. When the patient is discharged, the patient’s up-to-date health information would be uploaded from the HIS to the patients’ microchip. Implanting an electronic health record into every U.S. citizen has its pros and cons; the question contemplated is “We Can But Should We”?

  • Pet Microchips

    807 Words  | 2 Pages

    Many families have had the agonizing experience of losing their beloved pets. Lost dogs, puppies, and cats end up in shelters around the country with no way of contacting an owner. State wide license laws are supposed to aide in returning lost dogs to their owners, but in many cases these laws do not end up working. Many individuals do not follow the law close enough, do not have enough money to pay for a license, or dogs lose their collars or tags. Other families tattoo their dogs, but few shelters make the effort to find such a marking. Identifying microchips implanted just under the skin of a pet are a possible solution to prevent a family pet from being lost forever. There are fewer problems with this microchip identification system in comparison to the traditional laws. One issue is that some of the chips are becoming unable to be read by a shelter without a universal scanner, and shelters do not necessarily have the technology to scan some of the newer chips. Even though there are set backs, the microchips are becoming an increasingly popular technology to aid in locating your lost pet.

    Identity-“Ones personal qualities.”Identiy is something only he or she can fully define. My uncle says I am affectionate,cheerful, and calm. My grandmother sees me as slim, pretty and sweet. My dad described me as perky, cheerful and happy, my mom says beautiful, gentle, and self-conscious. These adjectives describe me accurately, yet they are only abstract versions of me. Adjectives cannot begin to describe me and I aknowlege these descriptions for what they are, a condensed translation from my outward self to the world. It is impossible for anyone to understand me completely because nobody has experienced the things I have. My mother has never cherished a raggedy doll named Katie and my father never spent hours upon hours making collages and scrap books for his future children. My uncle never hid in the back of a pick-up-truck and traveled four hours to New York and my grandmother has never walked hours in the rain looking for the Queen of England. My identity is something only I can define.

  • Human-implanted Chips

    One of the first problems with Digital Angel and the Verichip is the sparseness of information relating to the technology. A quick tour of the Applied Digital Solutions’ Verichip website will give you a quick synopsis of what RFIDs are, and then list a few possible uses of the technology. The Frequently Asked Questions page on the website is equally shortchanged on information, with just a short tidbit on how the chips are installed, among other information. With a device that people will be living with for the rest of their lives (should they choose to bestow it upon them), I feel that many would rather have available detailed information on the technology. This is even more applicable when you consider the hostility that many people breed to technology that could lead to their mass surveillance (i.e. fear of conspiracy); many of these people’s concerns will likely be alleviated just by releasing more detailed info out on the web for the public to see.

    I was one who believed in the progression of technology. We didn't have to do chores or get a job. There was none of what my grandmother called 'school'. It was wonderful, we had free time for whatever we wanted. Whenever we became ill, the Bots tended to us. They made us food, clothing, and did all the work around the house. We only needed one Bot to last our whole life. As well as our personal Bots, there were business Bots who replaced our parent's jobs so they could relax, and spend more time with us. So many new business opened because Bots were so cheap that everyone could afford them. Well, almost everyone. There are still people living on the streets and in parking lots, but it's been like that for decades my mom tells me.

  • Human Microchip Implants

    2320 Words  | 5 Pages

    The idea for human microchip implants was actually started from the microchips in pets and other animals. "Tracking devices have already been available to pet owners for nearly ten years"(Daugherty 2). They were designed to be more secure and to take the place of the old external tags (Feder, Zeller 15). Besides monitoring salmon, the chips were first used to keep track of livestock, but now they have migrated to use in domestic pets. Although there is still a seemingly low number (about 1.6 Million) of chipped pets in the United States, the...
