Technology advances at a pace that no one man can comprehend. In matter of fact, there's a computer chip out there called an RFID chip. RFID stands for radio frequency identification.
With this technology, a sensor can detect an ID of anything, whether it be on food, supplies or even someone's personal information. China and Europe have already implemented this technology into their cultures. America has begun it's distribution of this technology in several states, i.e., Vermont, Michigan, Washington, and Arizona.
It may seem this information is harmless, at first. This technology can make inventory for businesses to go smoother. Also, it can raise awareness of who's in a certain place at a certain time. However, one's personal information can easily get into the hands of the wrong person without the correct security measures taken.
