Scott McNealy, the former CEO of Sun Microsystems quoted a controversial statement that “If I could embed a locator chip in my child right now, I know I would do that. Some people call that Big Brother; I call it being a father.” Benefits of implanting locator chips in children are
Locator chips in children help to save them from child kidnappers and track them down in case of missing or being lost.
Some schools are using RFID tags as a security measure to confirm that all students are within the campus , during school hours.
Chips are successfully implanted in humans so that physicians can monitor the patient's condition
RFID ankle-tag-bracelet tied to infants and mothers help to prevent newborn baby abduction from hospitals. Also, to avoid
Using an RFID in school is a good Idea because it keeps students safer, students were given RFID badges to record when they got on and off the school bus to prevent child abductions and truancy. Paul Boylan the schools attorney states "The system offers security advantages since administrators would immediately knows if a student didn't show up for class and could notify parents quickly" (Boylan). In other words the staff of the school could tell if a student was missing and easily contact the parents. If a student does not show up at school for example, the school and the parents would be able to quickly find where they when located. It is clear that this can make the school safer, being able to locate where students are at around the school,
My proposal is a micro chip implanted into our forearm. The first step will be to appoint many government employees and scientists to prepare all the chips for each individual person that is a U.S citizen. Once the chips are available they will be sent to every U.S. hospital. After the chips have arrived every person in America, that is eligible, will get an email at what hospital they need to pick up theirs. Shortly after the already existing humans get their chips, the employees that were distributing them will set up shop at the hospital for the upcoming newborns. As soon as those suckers pop out and are washed up, the chip will be inserted. Once everyone is chipped another form will be emailed about the upcoming
I’m James Wright the father of Autumn Wright. We paid to implement life a saving precaution to our child who is gaining strength and speed, who bolts, wanders and lacks the comprehension of the dangers of such action and has been wearing a GPS device due to the fact that she is developmentally delayed with a seizure disorder that is amplified by overheating. She bolts, wonders and could be in grave danger without assistance. Autumn has bolted from Frenchtown Elementary staff and wondered off several times from me throughout the years. The GPS device she wears is called angelsense and we purchased it for Autumn to prevent a potential tragedy of a lost special needs child.
As for the personas, we concluded that college students are tight on money and only will use Expo markers for class or work related purposes. So, by our innovation, the RFID tag would not increase the student’s budget whatsoever to buy the marker, so their money situation would stay the same. On the other hand, for children, we concluded that they mainly use Expo markers for fun and in school. Children can be very forgetful and can lose things easily, but with our innovation we can prevent that by tagging the marker with RFIDs.
Microchip implant is an exceptionally well thought authentication method that has the possibility of making a huge impact in securing information. The concept of microchip implant was introduced in 1945 by Leon Theremin, who was the originator of one of the first covert devices which is also known as “bugs”. This device is followed by Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology which is a small electronic device that contains a chip. This chips allows the ability to store data typically ranging up to 2,000 bytes or less. RFID is comparable to magnetic strips or bar codes because they all act as a unique identifier for a specific purpose. In order to obtain information from an RFID, you must scan the device just as how a magnetic strip or bar code would require scanning. RFID can also be described as the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields that helps in transferring data with the goal of being able to automatically recognize and monitor tags that are being attached to objects. RFID technology is currently being used by many different industries varying from identifications badges that enclose RFID tags that assist with eliminating the chances of shoplifting, to vehicles using the technology to help monitor the production process and track the vehicles across the assembly line. Other scenarios that may use the microchip implant includes animals having RFID tags placed in them for identification purposes as
Using RFID chips in school is a bad idea because the parents don’t like that their kids can be tracked during school. They are also upset that they weren't told about the chips. Michele Tatro, a mother of one the students that got a badge, said, "This is not right for our kids,.. I'm not willing to track me and I don’t think my children should be tracked either." (Zetter) What she is saying is that she doesn’t like her daughter being tracked around the school. They can be even tracked when they go to the bathroom. That is an invasion of their privacy. In other words, parents don’t think that their kids should be tracked during school because it invades their privacy and their kids don’t like them as
•The chip can be used to make purchases, open doors, login to computers, and track employee breaks. So as you see it can help a lot with daily life. (Merrit Kennedy, Wisconsin Company Offers To Implant Chips In Its Employees)
However, In the medical field, the advantage of the procedure will be that all of the information that it requires with just a simple scan to be able to view the records and know if the patient is suffering from any conditions. Authorities will also be able to use the microchip to track fugitives and locate missing people. The tracking abilities are strong that it can even identify criminals on and off the crime scene. Many people acknowledge the idea of implanting with microchips may conjure up spectres of surveillance and totalitarian control. Be it wireless or not, it offers a way to make physical body
I wonder, could that sort of technology be seen as the answer to many problems people deal with today. For example, have you ever lost a credit or debit card? Have you left your driver license at home or forgotten your passport? Have you ever heard of dogs and cats being implanted with microchips in case they get lost? Could the same type of chip implanted under the skin of human beings be the solution to the problems described above? Could the implementation of this technology be just over the
Are your kids getting out of hand and talking back? Modern technology can now do it better. Mark Pawlick has used a device called a black box that now can allow you to track your child's every move, even across town. This device is a global positioning device that can let them know exactly where their children are at any moments. New gadgets can let parents know every time their children drive to fast or visit someone they aren't supposed to.
Using RFID chips in school is a bad idea because parents are complaining about students privacy. The RFID chips could be tracking the students. According to Michele Tatro, whose daughter received a badge, thinks her child might be getting tracked. She says "I'm not willing for anybody to track me... I don't think my children should be tracked either."(Zetter) In other words, scanners above bathroom doors were found in the school. From the information above this seems like the RFID chips are invading students personal space. Also, the chips were found in classrooms doors too. The school required the students to only wear the chips or badges. It is clear to see why parents were complaining about the RFID chips invading students
new advancements such as microchip implant for humans and animals can be very controversial. At first, the implants may seem to have benefits but in the long run they will actually cause more trouble than they are worth. These potential "troublemakers" are about the size of an elongated grain of rice and are injected in the skin under the arm or hand (Feder, Zeller 15). The chip is not powered by battery and there is nothing that can possibly leak out into the body (Posada-Swafford 8). An early form of this technology was used to monitor salmon and has been used for other wildlife research (Verhovek 5). The idea of the chips was started from the September 11 tragedy
Mr. Ward provided the technical design to enhance the wireless infrastructure to support real time track for the HUGS infant security system. He was able to leverage his prior military experience in land navigation to strategically place the wireless access points, to triangulate and accurately pin point the location of RFID tags placed on the infants to prevent Infant abductions. His dedication and knowhow attitude to have greatly increased Madigan ability to deliver an unprecedented level of security against infant abduction.
