US Soldiers to Get Brain Microchipped.

The Department of Defense is pursuing a brain-implantable "biochip" that will measure/relay a soldier's vitals on the battlefield (and off). We don't know much from a technical standpoint about the chips, other than they are about the size of a grain of rice and will have the ability to, at minimum, measure oxygen levels in tissue. But the technological breakthrough involved has little to do with the electronics. Scientists have invented a gel that mimics human tissue. By combining the gel with the microchip, chances that the body will reject the device are far less likely. The entire project is said to be five years from implementation.
Personally, I'd love to see these microchips developed for civilian use, especially for diabetics and those who need constant blood work. But when framed as a government, military initiative, the altruistic potential can be scared off by Big Brother.

The start of the uber marine has kicked in. One day in the near future we will have suits for soldiers that will monitor the whether and adjust the temperature of the wearer so he/she never gets affect by whether conditions. ......Yeah i know Ive been playing to many futuristic wargames

They should have these put in the heads of pedofiles. And when a pedofile approaches a kid, he gets a shock and becomes paraplegic for a week. Or die. eitherway

lol, actually thats a pretty good idea

We should chip politicians and business bosses instead, and give voters no billets, but buttons. Maybe that would make them think, assuming that enough braincells have suvived so far.

Oh god, voters? The lumpen masses?

I think that would discourage anyone from running for office
Think of the miniscule amount of thought many put into their voting habits, now half that for remote electrocution....

thinking about this too much? yes I am.

In the future we do not go voting, but buzzing

What happens to the soldier if they get the dreaded Windows Blue Screen of Death?

The uber Medic then steps in and reboots the marine

Are the classic lie.

The top one is for humans and the next one is for dogs.

This reminds me of a film I watched ages ago...where the US gov put chips in this guys head and brainwashed him and framed him for an assasination attempt. Anyway, yeah...back OT lol. Cool idea...helpful to keep a watchful eye on someone who's been wounded etc, although I'm not sure if I like the idea of been a cyborg! ZOMG...the BORG ARE COMING! ROFL :rotfl::rotfl:

US Army in 20 years:
Soldiers with Microchips in their head, wearing superstrong exoskeletons and adaptive camouflage rendering them almost invisible

Problem is, Software supplied by Microsoft, resulting in these soldiers rapidly changing between bright orange and pink while jumping around in circles with 3 meter jumps while having epileptic seizures in front of some less advanced, but rather amazed enemies
:rotfl:

Based on the problems encountered during the inoculation regime before the Iraq war, I suspect this story is more BS designed to alarm people, and nothing more.
