Sort of on topic: Future

Spelling it that way round means you think he's gay. Do you want him sir?

The real future it seems is that all people will have microchips to operate their devices since nobody can remember the increasingly complex passwords needed to stay secure. This is also true as many employers will require you are chipped as well, so they can track you. The really silly thing about all of this is that its dressed up as being a way to keep your private data private, but in fact is only there to be able to match up you and your data so the commercial services can sell you stuff or exploit your data in some other way.

Somebody needs to call a halt to this as no matter how much data you have about somebody, it most certainly does not mean you know them at all.

It is like a dog going around sniffing s*it. Brian

What a load of crap.

Dogs and other animals can learn a lot from sniffing s*it. Their nose is one of their most useful and accurate sensors they have. A there's quite a bit of info that can come from s*it.

People will have a microchip fitted at birth.

I doubt that as it wouldn't be much use at the time and these chips can move about in growing bodies which could cause a problems. A more advanced chip would be better a programable chip so you could add data to it.

The microchip will enable the gov. to know where you are at all times and record your conversations. Already in use.

In socialist Sweden as you might expect.

I doubt the govenment would be that efficinet advertisers will though.

Seems to be OK with dogs.

Depends on the dogs size, it happenes in cats more though.

-microchips/

1. Microchips can?t fall off, like a collar can. They have been kn own to occasionally move around under a pet?s skin, but will remain intact. A full scan of the pet should find the microchip number even if i t?s moved.

Much as I hate to agree with whisky-dave, he's actually managed to be sort of right.

We had a young cat chipped about five years ago, Two years later she went missing (nervous, builders next door removed gate post and gate).

We got her back two months later. In the interim, the person who found her had taken her to the vet twice to be vaccinated. Both times, they scanned her and found nothing. It was a routine scan so they just did the usual wave over.

Then the finder took her back to be spayed. They found she'd already been spayed, got suspicious and did a very careful slow scan. The chip had moved.

They phoned me at once, and I got all emotional over the cheese in Sainsburys!
