A Wisconsin company claims it will be the first in the country to implant microchips in most of its employees.
Three Square Market plans to implant chips in the hands of volunteers among its workforce. The technology replaces identification cards used to open doors and operate office equipment.
CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas reports the company, which is based in River Falls, has 80 employees. Privacy concerns have been raised by the plans.
Three Square Market will likely use the technology the most in the break room. To pay for a candy bar or a bag of pretzels, all an employee would have to do is flick their wrist.
By next week, over 50 employees will have bionic hands, with a credit card chip implanted near their wrist.
"Basically it's a serial number that is assigned to your credit card," owner Todd Westby said.
The company is offering the chips, which cost about $300 a piece, to its employees for free. Westby, his wife and two children will also be getting microchipped
damn prophecy unfolding imo thoughts?
How long do you figure till this becomes the norm?Just volunteers... for now.

It's was code for NeroWhat do you suppose the 666 means? I've never heard anyone really figure it out.
Scary shit.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3697940.stmThe night club offers its VIP clients the opportunity to have a syringe-injected microchip implanted in their upper arms that not only gives them special access to VIP lounges, but also acts as a debit account from which they can pay for drinks.
Employers do not have access to an employee's bank account info via direct deposit. All they have is the account and routing #s so they can make the deposithow so? and let's not pretend that no one has access to your CC information. Literally every business and company you've ever had a transaction with has your information.
so you are okay with companies you guy from having your information and the government having your information (all who take money from you) but not your employer (who gives you money)?Employers do not have access to an employee's bank account info via direct deposit.

An individual vendor you purchase from only has access to your history with them. Your CC company has access to your all your CC info, and this is the same access your employer would have if they're issuing your implanted CC. However as opposed to the former, the latter obviously has a different kind of interest in this info
Yeah but it seems like your employer would have access to all your CC info. May be limited to breakroom snacks for now but it's reasonable to assume this will only expand going forward
Also, if you suspect someone is tracking your CC via GPS or whatever you can always leave it at home
Yes your employer having info access to all your spending (and, therefore, lifestyle) behavior enters into a whole other ballgameso you are okay with companies you guy from having your information and the government having your information (all who take money from you) but not your employer (who gives you money)?
how so? everyone else already has that info. Hell, some of the more tech savy business employers already do. Walmart, Target, and other big name stores already track what you buy, when you buy it, and generate ads specifically for you based on that data. Facebook listens in on your conversations and generates ads targeted at you.Yes your employer having info access to all your spending (and, therefore, lifestyle) behavior enters into a whole other ballgame
Putting aside the sinister consequences for mankind - it'd still be pretty cool to pull some Darth Vader shit anytime I wanted to open a door or pay a bill
You really don't see a conflict of interest with your employer having this info? You really don't see a problem with the potential for them to use this info in their decision making? Lmao okay then implant awayhow so? everyone else already has that info. Hell, some of the more tech savy business employers already do.
