一家瑞典公司正在用微芯片代替通常的滑动卡植入工人。
What would you do if your company wanted to implant a micro chip in you as part of its security plan?
I don’t know about you, but I’d take a pass. Apparently, that’s not the sentiment at Epicenter, a company based in Stockholm, Sweden, which provides network and office space to budding digital startups. According to an article on Futurism.com, Epicenter started implanting workers as far back as January 2015 with tiny, rice-sized microchips. The chips, which are implanted into their hands, function as one of those swipe cards you might get to gain access to certain areas. The implant replaces things like keys, allowing employees to get into rooms, elevators, even open doors simply by waving their implanted hand near a reader. Epicenter’s “cyborg” employees, as the article calls them, can even operate printers or order smoothies just by waving their microchipped hand.
尽管微芯片不是强制性的，但显然他们在员工中受到了打击。文章说，多达150名Epicenter员工自豪地佩戴了筹码，而“被淘汰”的仪式已成为该公司与当事方的纽带仪式，以庆祝那些被植入的人。
Who knew?
