Not much. I recall reading something years ago about it being put into experiment in Canada. I don't know that it took off or has found any practical purpose yet.
Why? What have you found? And how do you feel about it?
I've been doing some research on this topic...
Do you guys know much about this?![]()

Wow. I did not know that. Cashless by Jan. 2016.
Siberian: I know very little probably compared to some. Although I will share a little of what I think is reliable. Someone else chime in if I'm wrong.
We have reached that point, technologically speaking, where an RFID chip can be placed in the hand to replace debit or credit cards all around the world. Computers / internet, are involved in over 95% of buying and selling in the developed parts of the world. These chips, as I said, can replace debit/credit cards. They have already been used on house pets and criminals in order to track them.
RFID Chips are going to be placed in virtually all products sold. In addition, high speed internet communication is coming to all humans on earth with satellites operational by 2020. Just like GPS satellites for communication.
As I mentioned earlier, if this is true, RFID tags will be in all products which when you leave the store you will be debited from your bank account when passing through a scanner while leaving. This might take several more years and I don't know if that will happen.
Convincing people to get a chip implanted in their hand is another story. However, come a global crisis it may become required for security reasons. Some of these technologies are still in testing. Some say we are still in the beginning of computer development. Better computers for maybe about 20 more years at which time closing in on theoretical limits of technology as far as computers are concerned.
A world leader could implement everyone to receive this implanted chip in. Implementing this is said to not possibly be sooner than 2020 but definitely possible by 2030's.
If anything, Christians should watch and evaluate and discern this situation as it seems likely to be a possibility in the future.

If they has ever been anything that seems to represent the coming mark of the beast.... its has to be these implant things.
Yeah, this has long been a case for speculation. You know what I wonder, though? There was a thread in the BDF where someone asked whether The Holy Spirit was literally in everything - technology especially - and the thread received some mixed responses. If people think God isn't "in" technology, would the "spirit" of the Beast (i.e. the number) manifest itself in a computer chip?If they has ever been anything that seems to represent the coming mark of the beast.... its has to be these implant things.

You might be suprised at the number of ways '666' has actually been "built into" modern technology.Considering computers run on binary, too, I've always wondered how "666" would actually manifest itself. Maybe there's some underlying theory to that too.
