3. How would you react if your employer asked you to be microchipped? Why would you accept or reject having a chip inserted into your body? A UK firm, BioTeq, and a Swedish one, Biohax, have developed microchips, which are about the size of a grain of rice, and can be injected into the soft flesh between the thumb and the forefinger (Kollewe, 2018).

This insertable technology uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology which is found in items such as credit cards and passports and can be read by devices capable of near field communication

(NFC) such as smart phones. The microchips contain a small amount of information to enable the wearer to log into his or her computer, open doors, operate printers, or start his or her car just by waving their hand before a reader (Spicer, 2017).
