After a company in Wisconsin fitted each of their employees a microchip and claimed they absolutely loved it, many people were adamant that nope, no way, they'd never get chipped like a dog. Some people claimed religious objections (mark of the Beast) while others feel that their privacy has been already been invaded quite enough with the advent of "smart" technology and advertising cookies on the internet.

If you swear to the skies that you'll never get chipped, several experts quoted in an article on USA Today are here to tell you that you're wrong.

Associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Noelle Chesley said, "It will happen to everybody. But not this year… Maybe not my generation, but certainly that of my kids."

Professor Chesley isn't alone in her prediction. Gene Munster of Loup Ventures had a lot to say about the possibility of everyone getting a microchip. He believes it's about 50 years away.

 "In 10 years, Facebook, Google, Apple, and Tesla will not have their employees chipped," he says. "You'll see some extreme forward-looking tech people adopting it, but not large companies."

The idea of being chipped has too "much negative connotation" today, but by 2067 "we will have been desensitized by the social stigma," Munster says. (source)

The article gushes about the "benefits" of getting a microchip embedded in your hand.
