You won't be able to pay for anything using your phone, credit card, or cash. This can be accomplished by implanting a microchip into your hands.
This isn't a new concept, as futuristic as it may appear. In reality, the first microchip was implanted a little over 20 years ago, but it wasn't until this decade that it became economically viable. Walletmor, a British Polish company, was the first to commercialize these microchips. They are around the size of a grain of rice and weigh less than a gram.
Wojtek Paprota, the company's CEO, claims the product is safe and does not require a power source to operate.
The microchip was inserted in 2019 by Patrick Paumen, co-founder of HackerSpace. The implant technique, according to Paumen, felt like being pinched. He finds the implant to be really beneficial, and he can use it anywhere that accepts contactless payments.
Paumen also has the extra benefit of surprising everyone around him when he utilizes this unusual payment technique.
Not everyone is in favor of implanting a chip in their hand; nonetheless, many critics are concerned about invasiveness and security concerns.
Would you consider using a microchip to pay for your items? Let us know in the comments below.
