Why just they don't put that in cellphone. Today we could withdraw the money without any ATM cards. That look like very hurt.

It has other purposes. Access any computer without a password. Access to your personal medical records and bank accounts. Have your house unlock and the door open as you walk toward it. Have the lights come on. Have your car door open and start once you’ve put on a seat belt . All hands free. Or in the case of those who feel the need , have a firearm that will only fire for the person it’s registered too.

And how can a wife withdraw the money from the bank from her husband's account since her husband is being in the hospital?
Put her husband in the cab when he is being unconscious?

This has been in the pipeline for some time now, I’ve even met some people on the ministry who think that this is Revelation 13:16,17 being fulfilled.

 

16 “It puts under compulsion all people—the small and the great, the rich and the poor, the free and the slaves—that these should be marked on their right hand or on their forehead,  17 and that nobody can buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name”

 

 

Not again...

 

This happened with barcodes too..

That's simple ... each can have their own access code to the same account on their own chip ... just like today, more than one ATM card can access the same account.

This is sort of scary. It can go from one purpose to another, really fast. It could be used to keep track of where you are, and your activities. Volunteer, “finger ID”? 

 

That can already be done with cell phones ... and no one seems to care

Yep, how ever, if push comes to shove. We can leave those electronic devices at home.  

If we were in a tenuous situation, and knew having a cell phone with us could compromise anything, not so with that finger!

I want to age without sharp corners, and have an obedient heart!

Elon Musk is making implants to link the brain with a smartphone

The chip in the finger is not embedded so deep that it cannot be removed if need be.

Just don’t forget the one in your cat.  But already many medical implants are already in people that can be tracked. Taking out an incoded pacemaker won’t be much fun.

It’s not a very common thing, but I suppose such chips will become more common. They can not only replace cash, but also replace keys, for instance.

Well, though this isn't exactly like the chip in the hand thing, in New York City, though I haven't seen people use it, to go through the turnstile to get on the train, they have a system now that instead of swiping your MTA card, you just put your credit/debit card against the reader, and you go through.

 

But I don't like it, because though you can still use your MTA card, at least for the moment, I feel that it'll show the balance on your  credit/debit card. Plus the subways are always full of beggars who's just waiting for someone to rob who's not paying attention. They really think people are stupid. 

 

One day I'm at the Metrocard machine buying a MTA card, and this guy comes behind me asking if I'm going to keep  my receipt. Right away I got an attitude and said "yeah I am, why!? First off, I dont like someone I don't know standing behind me like that, secondly I wanted to know why he felt it was his business! 

 

Anyway, he walked off in a gruff and guess who didn't care? 

 

So finally I was in the street walking home, shared the above with a passenger and this is what she told me: 

It's a scam to get Metrocards to sell rides to passengers which is illegal. What the scammers do is they stand in the train station especially during rush hours, and swipe passengers through the turnstile for $1 or $2 with their illegal Metrocards. Now, if they don't have a card, they're steal or "get" a receipt from unsuspecting customers, use it to make the claim that they lost "their" cards, and therefore get a card...for free from MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority).

 

I tell you, I've said it before and I'm saying it again. I really believe that at night, when normal people like you and I are asleep, these nuts are awake trying to figure out more scams.

There's another scam here in  NYC, regarding getting on trains.

 

One time I'm at a train station in service. Above that station not too far away is a building that houses a parole/probation office. So this man comes downstairs, stands around appearing to be looking around, walks over to me, and asked for money to get on the train. The usual stuff. 

 

I'm not in the habit of giving because there are too many organizations they can turn to. Yes, this system is rapidly closing down, but that's just it...they're closING, indicating that they're not closed yet. 

 

But that wasn't all. The guy came up behind me, asking for money to but a Metrocard to get on the train. But wait, there's more. He said "I just saw my parole/probation officer and I don't have money to get on the train." There's still more. Before I turned him down, which I knew I was especially since he told me where he was, I said to myself as if speaking to him: 

"oh so you're telling me that you're a criminal and now I'm supposed to open my bag in front of you." 

 

To be fair though first he went to the "token booth" (yes I still call it that, when we used to use tokens), he saw me with the literature, walked away a little, then came back with his "request." Perhaps he felt that I'm kind. Well I am, at least try to be. But we're supposed to imitate Jehovah, and that makes us no fools or pushovers for Jehovah certainly is NOT!! So I turned him down. Then later a sister said that when they visit their parole/probation officers, they're given carfare. I didn't know that, why should I?

Chips replace keys? How so?

I prefer to carry wallet. I don't know why, but carrying the wallet along with those shiny debit cards make me look like or at least make me feel like i'm "the have" rather not carrying anything since you put all of your assets under your skin. It can make you look like "the have no".

But won't it make the Security buzz go off as you walk out of a store?

And the same could happen, can't it, as you go through court security, including airlines' security, and even school security?

Personally, I don’t really care if people think I don’t have anything. Showing off my material wealth has never been a big thing for me.

Does it react today as you walk out of a store with your nfc items, such as the cards in your wallet?

Elon Musk's Neuralink project brain machine interface (BMI) has been floating around as an idea for a while now, but recently we've been taken on a detailed inside glimpse of what the technology will entail. Join me as we explore.

Metal detectors go off because of my hip replacements, then they pull me aside and scan me with a wand to make sure I'm not carrying a weapon of some sort, these are only the size of a grain of rice, not much if any metal.
