Chips in your body


U.S. scientists are developing chips that, implanted in one's brain, could allow an amputee to control an artificial arm by thinking about it. Others are developing chips that could be implanted behind your eyes to correct your vision. Some are coming up with chips that could feedback you, your doctor or your hospital whether you are in need of a certain treatment. Who will benefit from that? Us, of course. But cynically, insurance companies as well; they may demand that you provide feedback from your body chips to ascertain how healthy you are and if you are indulging!... Watch the premiums rise!
