"Chip" technology has always been on the agendas of governments all over the planet.
They've just had to wait until common technology was at a level of standardization, where they can use chip tech on humans.
They already chip livestock and pets............for some decades now.
And microtechnology is at a point now, where you can be chipped with an easy injection.
Microbots or nanobots aren't at the level that they need to be in order to easily infect humans without them knowing. First and foremost, the money isn't there for nanobots to be manufactured at a breakneck pace. Most nanobots are still at the testing stages, as far as testing on living subjects are concerned.
It could take 2 or 3 more decades before they start processing humans like cattle. Or, it could be tomorrow, with the tech they have now. Who knows.
We are at the precipice right now, where you HAVE to HAVE a smart phone in order to do anything anymore. Hell, I can't even log into my work computer without having to get a code sent to my phone to use to get INTO my work computer!!! I can't even pay online, a couple of bills I have now without getting a code sent to my phone to enter online.
And now I get a notice from my bank that they are going to start initiating the same thing......where you have to have a code to be able to get into your account after you log in.
I don't see what the big deal is. If you've got a smart phone, you're already tracked, already pinned, already in "Big Brothers" database. For that matter, if you pay taxes, you are in "the system".
So, it doesn't matter what device you use, or where it is......it's just a matter of time before it gets replaced with something smaller.......and smaller..........and smaller.........
Soon, the only decision you will need to make is.....where do you want them to stick it in you?
