I feel like this kind of ignores the big difference between current, not particularly compelling technology (an RFID chip), and future implantable technology.

I feel like this kind of ignores the big difference between current, not particularly compelling technology (an RFID chip), and future implantable technology. Currently the only thing an implanted chip can do is replace an RFID card, which isn't all that uniquely useful. Even for nudist vacations. Sure, if they can implant a whole health sensor in my hand that my doctor can monitor (not my employer, thank you very much), I'm interested. But that's a world away from letting my boss RFID chip me just so I can buy food in the cafeteria.
