Yes for tracking locations of tons of things you buy (Gillete razors all contain them now) but they are also being used for transportation toll cards, identification badges, the blue american express credit cards, for tracking your pets, and even for humans........Conrad Chase offered implanted chips in his night clubs to identify VIP customers, the Mexican Attorney General's office implanted 18 of its staff members with the chip to control access to a secure data room, It is being used in tons of librarys to keep track of books, In Osaka, Japan they are now chipping children's clothing, back packs, and student IDs in a primary school, also there are being tests done for when customers enter a dressing room, the mirror reflects their image and also images of the apparel item being worn by celebrities on an interactive display. A webcam also projects an image of the consumer wearing the item on the website for everyone to see. This creates an interaction between the consumers inside the store and their social network outside the store. The technology in this system is an RFID interrogator antenna in the dressing room. Also....RFID tags are now being embedded into playing cards that are used for televised poker tournaments, so commentators know exactly what cards have been dealt to whom, as soon as the deal is complete. The Iraqi army uses an RFID security card that contains a biometric picture of the soldier. The picture in the chip must match the picture on the card to prevent forgery...
Apparently it is hoped that all bar codes will be replaced with this chip within the next 10 years or so...
I'm not necessarily scared about the chip...but I wouldn't be in the least bit suprised if it becomes super necessary to survive in the future.
