Internet of Humans { IoH } ?

A report ( Daily Mail / Feb 08 , 2017  ) reads :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a move that could be lifted straight from science fiction, workers at a Belgian marketing firm are being offered the chance to have microchips implanted in their bodies. 

The chips contain personal information and provide access to the company's IT systems and headquarters, replacing existing ID cards.

  

The controversial devices raise questions about personal security and safety, including whether they may allow the movements of people with implants to be tracked. 

NewFusion, a marketing firm in Belgium, is offering the chip to its employees.  

The radio-frequency identification ( RFID ) chips are about the same size as a grain of rice and store personal security information which can be transmitted over short distances to special receivers.

RFID chips can already be found in contactless cards, including banks cards and the Oyster system which is used by more than 10 million people to pay for public transport in London.

They are also similar to the chips implanted in pets. 

The ones used at NewFusion cost around €100 each (£85 or $106) and are inserted between the thumb and index finger.

A growing number of people and businesses are choosing to adopt the practice, known as bio hacking.

Implant kits can be bought online, and include a sterile injector with a pre-loaded chip and gauze for wound care.

The chips can be used for a range of applications, from allowing access to properties to logging into computers or even starting motor vehicles.

It is believed there are 10,000 people across the world using the microchip technology inside their bodies.

NewFusion is not the first company to offer RFID implants to its staff.

In 2015, a Swedish company implanted microchips in its staff which allowed them to use the photocopier, open security doors and even pay for their lunch. 

Hannes  Sjoblad, the chief disruption officer at the Swedish bio-hacking group BioNyfiken, which implanted the chips into the Epicenter workers, told The Times:

 'We already interact with technology all the time.

'Today it's a bit messy - we need pin codes and passwords - wouldn't it be easy to just touch with your hand?

'We want to be able to understand this technology before big corporates and big government come to us and say everyone should get chipped - the tax authority chip, the Google or Facebook chip.' 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as I can see , Hannes  Sjoblad is going to be disappointed because no government can – or will – impose CHIP IMPLANTS on its citizens

And , if the purpose is simply to register the employees’ attendance AUTOMATICALLY , it would be much easier for a Government to persuade companies to implement ( instead of implant ) :

From BAD  to  MAD

Not only it is NON-INVASIVE , it is far SIMPLER / FASTER / CHEAPER to implement

All that is needed :

·         Smart phones with built-in Bio Metric device ( Iris scan / Finger Scan etc )

·          

·         A software ( Mobile App )

·          

·         A cloud based network of servers

·          

This reform has the potential to transform India , like nothing else can !

Dear Shri Ravishankar Prasadji :

How about making a beginning with ALL central government departments / establishment ?  May be , a small beginning with our highly disciplined Military ?
