WE WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU THOUGHT WORKERS SHOULD BE MICROCHIPPED SO THEY COULD SWIPE IN AND OUT OF WORK AND PAY FOR SNACKS.
LET’S SEE WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY.
ALAYNA FROM CENTRAL INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL CAME UP WITH SOME GOOD REASONING. SHE WROTE:
“ I DON'T THINK THAT THE MICROCHIPS SHOULD BE PUT IN PEOPLE’S HANDS. YES, IT WOULD MAKE GETTING IN TO WORK AND PAYING FOR FOOD A LOT EASIER, BUT WHAT IF IT DIDN'T STAY IN THE SAME PLACE? IF IT MOVED AROUND IN YOUR HAND IT WOULD PROBABLY HURT. I THINK IT’S A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. USING WORK BADGES TAKES MORE TIME BUT IT’S A LOT SAFER THAN GETTING A CHIP PUT IN YOUR HAND. THAT IS WHY I DON'T THINK PEOPLE SHOULD GET THE MICROCHIPS PUT IN THEIR HANDS.
LYDIA FROM BUCKEYE INTERMEDIATE ALSO WASN’T KEEP ON CHIPPING. SHE WROTE:
“I DON’T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD PUT MICROCHIPS IN YOUR HAND. THIS IS BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE INFECTIONS IN YOUR HAND. I SEE WHY THEY’RE MADE BECAUSE IT COULD BE EASIER TO PAY IF YOU FORGET YOUR WALLET. BUT IT COULD HURT WHEN YOU PUT IT IN, OR AFTER YOU PUT THE CHIP IN IT COULD FEEL WEIRD AND TICKLING. THE CHANCES OF ME PUTTING A MICROCHIP CREDIT CARD IN MY HAND IS A 0% CHANCE. AND THEY COULD BE TRACKING YOU DOWN EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY THEY AREN’T GOING TO DO THAT. I BELIEVE THIS IS GOING TO BE A BAD THING IN THE FUTURE.”
MATT FROM RUSHWOOD ELEMENTARY SEEMS LIKE HE’S GIVING IT A 100 PERCENT CHANCE. HE WROTE:
“I THINK THE CHIPS ARE A GOOD WAY TO BE ABLE TO BUY THINGS BECAUSE WHAT IF SOMEONE IS RUNNING AND THEY NEED A GLASS OF WATER BUT THEY DIDN'T BRING THEIR WALLET WITH THEM AND THEY’RE SUPER THIRSTY. AND WHAT IF SOMEONE WAS PLAYING SOCCER AND THEY WERE REALLY THIRSTY BUT THEIR MOM FORGOT HER WALLET. AND IF SOMEONE WAS PLAYING ANOTHER SPORT THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE THIRSTY TOO. EVEN TEACHERS HAVE A BADGE TO GET IN THE IN THE BUILDING. SO I WOULD RECOMMEND IF YOU’RE AN ADULT, YOU SHOULD GET A MICROCHIP.”
ANNA FROM SILVER LAKE ELEMENTARY ISN’T CONVINCED ABOUT THE MICROCHIPS. SHE WROTE:
“I BELIEVE THAT WORKERS SHOULD NOT BE MICROCHIPPED JUST SO THEY CAN USE A VENDING MACHINE OR TO GET IN AND OUT OF WORK. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS THAT HUMANS ARE GETTING SO LAZY THAT THEY'VE DECIDED THAT IT'S TOO "HARD" TO JUST PULL OUT A CARD AND SWIPE…. THIS LAZINESS BY HUMANS IS DISGRACEFUL AND APPALLING TO CIVILIZATION. THIS IS WHY I BELIEVE THAT MICROCHIPPING WORKERS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.”
MASON FROM HERITAGE ELEMENTARY IS ALL FOR THE CHIPS:
“I THINK WORKERS SHOULD HAVE CHIPS IN THERE HAND BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE A LOT HARDER TO STEAL FROM THEM. THEY WOULD HAVE A KEY CARD AND PASS CODE TO EVERYTHING. ALSO TRACKING WOULD HELP IF THEY GET HURT AND CANNOT BE FOUND. PLUS, IT IS SO AWESOME THAT THIS TECH EXISTS.”
THANKS ALAYNA, LYDIA, MATT, ANNA AND MASON.
