Conspiracyists, deniers and associations of brothers-in-law on an international level have been warning for months that covid-19 vaccines come with a built-in chip whose function is to control the world’s population. It does not matter that no evidence has been found to confirm it, for them it is a matter of faith and against that there is no ‘fact check’ That it’s worth. They are right, however, that microchips can be implanted in our body for a long time, but also now there are several companies that sell them and even bring them to your home.
The vast majority of companies that sell subcutaneous chips use NFC and RFID radio wave information transmission technologies. The first is the same one that your mobile uses to make payments wirelessly, while the second is the one used on cards or key rings that give access to many business buildings. RFID will also be familiar to you, because it is the technology used in the implants worn by dogs to identify them in case of loss.

In reality, all of these systems work in much the same way and They require being very close to the reader with whom you want to interact. As this article from SlateIf what you are looking for is population control, there are much more efficient tracking systems that are already being used on a massive scale throughout the world. They are devices connected to GPS that we voluntarily carry everywhere we go, our mobile phones.
The implants that are marketed for now are not excessively small. According to experts, those for human use should be about 10 millimeters long and two millimeters wide so that they can be read correctly through our skin. Y chipmakers apply them with five-millimeter-diameter syringes, a terrifying size compared to the 0.8 millimeters measured by those recommended by the authorities for the supply of the covid vaccine.
The American company Dangerous Things sells a kit of three chips that include core NFC and RFID technologies for $ 270. In addition, it comes with the necessary equipment for you to inject it yourself at home if you do not want a professional to do it, although the latter would be recommended, according to the company.
There are others, like the German I Am Robot or the british Bioteq, which sell NFC and RFID implants with prices ranging from 78 euros – the most basic option – to 190 that already include a doctor to install it and the shot of local anesthesia so that it does not hurt. Although the company assures that the pain of the implant is similar to that of wearing an earring and therefore the possible health risks as well. Its chips are controlled via mobile and have up to 10 years of warranty.
The practical uses of these chips are many, ranging from opening doors without using your hands to unlocking your computer without having to remember the password. In Sweden, thousands of people have one and already pay at vending machines and validate their train tickets with them. But this technology does not seem to contribute anything different to what you can already do with your mobile or with a smart bracelet. Furthermore, the same companies admit that their products are not officially certified for use on the human body, So if you’re squeamish like me, you won’t see much point in it.
The prodigious chips that come
In contrast to these rudimentary chips, which are used primarily to exchange very basic information, there are other implants, such as the Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) —Brain-Computer Interface in Spanish—, which predict a much more exciting future when directly connect machines to our brain.
There are several companies investing millions of dollars in BCI, the best known is Neuralink, by Elon Musk, although it is not the only one. Kernel, An American startup led by Bryan Johnson, has been innovating in the neurotechnology sector since 2016. A field that is still in its infancy and that has significant obstacles to overcome. How does this point Article, it is not clear how we will be able to ‘write’ instructions in the brain or how effective and durable they will be. In addition, there is also the melon of how we are going to solve the ethical implications that a technology of this caliber entails.
Even so, the BCI promises very interesting applications. In theory, will have the ability to help the brain to correct brain or neurological injuries and its future applications could help expand human brain power and help us communicate with machines, not with our language, which Musk says is much slower and inefficient, but his own. This would give us the possibility to compete with future artificial intelligences and it would open another chapter in this era that comes from the Novacene.
