I was under the impression that the mark would not be revealed until the Antichrist officially reveals himself (correct me if that is not scripturally accurate). That being said, the nature of the device and the specificity of how you use it... yeah, don't go near it. It's safe to say the the actual mark could potentially implement this technology. The phase we are in now could just be Satan desensitizing the world to the idea of it so they don't put up a fight when it becomes mandatory to have a mark of some form.
And welcome to CC! (I'm new too, lol)
