But at Epicenter, a new hi-tech office block in Sweden, they are trying a different approach - a chip under the skin.

if it's properly organised you only need one barcode.

You cant update a bar code.

You can a chip.

dogs and cats are microchipped.

I want them to know nothing.

Why I leave my mobile sometimes at home.


I do think an implanted chip could be useful.

if you use an implanted chip for your purchases and there is no cash, they WILL know everything about you.
