In Sweden, a country rich with technological advancement, thousands have had microchips inserted into their hands.

The chips are designed to speed up users' daily routines and make their lives more convenient — accessing their homes, offices and gyms is as easy as swiping their hands against digital readers.

They also can be used to store emergency contact details, social media profiles or e-tickets for events and rail journeys within Sweden.

Would you place the implant in your thumb, pointer finger, or middle finger?

  If the thief cannot resist the urge to eat the severed appendage prior to extracting the chip, then they never get around to using the chip.

  It's true.
