wearable, why not just embed the device’

“A day when chips are not just worn around
the neck, but are actually implanted under
a human’s skin

“From a purely ‘rational’ point of view, it
would make sense to implant a small chip
under the skin, rather than have it on a
card that can easily be lost

“I was super-duper thankful that I went
through this small tiny piece of pain for the
guarantee that my key would be with me
as long as I have my hand, which I’ve
never ever forgotten. It only takes one or
two times of making a bullshit trip that’s
already too long and having to drive the
whole way back home, or deal with it for
the day, to make you realize like oh a
small pinch and this is solved? Yeah,
please give me the pinch.
”
“It made everything easier, I didn’t
have to type things in or interact
with the interfaces, I just had to
run my hand over my phone and I
was on my way.
