ID Chip Me

ID chips are no longer a thing of sci-fi and futuristic movies and books. They are becoming a reality. I can see their benefits, it would mean that authorities would be able to monitor dangerous criminals after they were released from prison. People deemed a threat to society or conducting suspicious activities would be able to be tracked and prevented from acting illegally or to the harm of others. It could possibly make society safer.
However, in my opinion this is a massive violation of peoples freedom. It is also unnecessary. There is enough surveillance conducted by institutions as it is, I don't think authorities need to invade peoples lives anymore than they already do. In this day and age, authorities can already track down people's whereabouts if they really want to. China is one such example. I think that society is generally pretty safe and that ID chipping people would only serve to hinder and stunt societies progress. We may end up with a world of agoraphobics and that's not at all conducive to a productive and successful country and economy. I guess people would have to work and socialise entirely over the internet or with various digital devices, but if these are being monitored to would they do so freely? I'm guessing no. People would become reclusive and isolated. Human interaction is a basic need for most people, taking it away is just about the worst thing that could be done. ID chipping people is really not a way forward, perhaps technologically it is but socially it is a great step backwards and a form of oppression on a society that has begun to become more accepting and free. I really do not agree with ID chips, people are not dogs.
So would I ever get an ID chip?

The straight up and simple answer is no.
