Since January 2015, Epicenter, a home of more than 100 companies with some 2,000 workers offers to implant its workers and startup members with a RFID (radio-frequency identification) microchips for free. It is not a mandatory, however, there are over 150 workers are already human/machine mashup that walks freely inside the company.

According to ABC, this RFID microchips has the same size of a rice grain that is injected via syringe into between the thumb and index finger of the person's hand. Implanting RFID microchips has become popular since it can open doors, the workers can freely operate the printers, or buying smoothies in just a simple wave of the hand. It looks futuristic and the CEO of Epicenter Patrick Mesterton finds it as a modern solution to carry too much stuff.

The RFID microchips use a Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, which is the same as the credit cards and mobile payments process. Implanted RFID microchips are passive, which means it can save the data that other device can read but not on their own data. Though it has the same technology with credit cards, the embedded chips have different data on a person's smartphone.

Since RFID microchips became popular, Mail Online reported that the biggest benefit of it is the convenience, which typically replaces things whether a credit card or communication devices. The Epicenter company also uses RFID microchips to track its deliveries, and how often does the employee come to work or what to buy, or even taking toilet breaks.

RFID microchips are somewhat like invading an amount personal whereabouts of a person as it offers a convenience but it can get information about the person's health. Meanwhile, Mesterton said after remembering the initial procedure, he had doubts that putting RFID microchips in human hands is quite a big step for a lot of people have been implanting stuff to control their heart.
