"EIN IMPLANTAT?
BUT THEN YOU CAN TRACK ME...."
The 10 most frequently cited misconceptions and prejudices
on microchip implants
2. „My data could be stolen!“
The current generation of microchip implants are blank sheets of paper which, if they are NFC implants, can record and transmit some information. This information can then be written or read by direct skin contact with a reader.
Data theft therefore presupposes that the "thief" knows exactly where the microchip implant is located or has the time to search the skin until the contact point is found. In addition, the implant must not be locked against unauthorised overwriting, etc. If something like this actually works against the will of the implant wearer, the suspected data thief will in most cases receive the business card, a link to a website or social media profiles. All information that would also be shared with others. Read secretly from a distance? No, the transmission standard is NFC, i.e. Near Field Communication, which means that it is really only possible from a few millimetres away.
But what about sensitive data, data that should never be read "secretly"? The first or current generation of microchip implants is not designed for this type of information and the constant criticism is tedious because apples and oranges are being compared here. Active encryption is currently not possible and, for many people in the Facebook age, not even desirable.

3. „At the airport, you beep at security!“
4. "Criminals could hack my implant!“
5. „When a new implant comes onto the market next year, the old one will have to be removed!“
6. „The implant then does something to my body!“
Although microchip implants for humans are still quite new, there is hardly a "product" that has been tested for compatibility for longer than microchip implants. We have been chipping our pets and farm animals for decades without giving it a second thought. There are simply no complications or medical difficulties with high-quality implants. However, the insertion should be carried out professionally so that there are no complications due to unprofessional insertion.
7. „My employer can then monitor how long I'm in the loo!“
8. „When the battery runs out, I have to recharge myself!“
Since microchip implants do not have their own power supply, i.e. they are passive, it is not possible to recharge a battery. A good microchip implant works just as well today as it will in 10 or 30 years' time. It does not need a battery.
9. „Someone has secretly implanted a microchip in me against my will. Now I'm being remote-controlled, so to speak!“
We receive such reports almost every week. Microchips alone are completely useless, as they require a power supply and an antenna. You can't insert a microchip implant "just like that" in secret, you would notice it. The implants could be seen in an MRI scan or X-ray at the latest. So we can only advise you to consult a psychologist.
10. “Time travel is possible with a microchip implant!“
Honestly, we've tried everything... but even with all the implants together, we still haven't managed to break through time & space. What a pity, really.
