Well, that's just a way to help poeple who lack something (it's like making an artificial leg for someone who lost his own). Those used to be wooden legs (like you see pirates in movies have), btu became very suffisticated - eye chips would be very suffisticated implant giving vision. That would be a good thing in itself (like glasses were when they were invented and are still widely used and very helpful), but that's a different point.

But giving people implants simple so they wouldn't have to think anymore (don't have to remember your passwords if you have an implant) is simply a step towards destroying the human intelect and becoming dependent on machines (the blind using the eye chip would also be depentent on a piece of machinery, but they'd be more dependent on other things without it).

I'd put a chip that would make me the strongest or smartest being in the world. I don't need a, pardon the expression, F*CKING chip that opens my front door or turns on the pc for me. I got HANDS for that stuff...
Install a micro processor like HAL into my brain, then maybe I would be happy.

About the eye implant thingy:
good idea. I would use that one if they implanted a chip so that I could see like the predator. Now THAT would be cool.

I really don't want such a thing in my body. If I want to open a door, I sure as hell'll just open it. If I forgot my keys, then I just should try to keep my thoughts at such things as well. Little aids like contact lenses, pacemakers, etc, are ok, but these things're not necessary. They'll just lazy people, or'll dull their minds.

Dont want it to. Its useless. But hey I didn't have a mobile 2 years ago either ;)

hmm this really is cheap but i dont feel the need of havin a chip in my hand right now............ as for gps tracker in your body.... i dont think that's a good idea...i mean that is expensive, and you got too have money if you do that.... so it would just be easier for the kidnappers to kidnapp you, because they can track you down and cut your arm of.......

I'd wait for brain-interface functionality before getting the chips.

RFID is a very dangerous technology...

How so? I mean, of course anti-hacking would have to be a priority. But I think we should use retinal scanners more often than we do. Much more efficient that key-codes.

Umm not that part, but any lack of privacy, totalitarian control, big brother...

Cool stuff, I'd do it. Of course when it's less new and revolutionary, but I'm for it :ok:
