Kronos - Mon 29 January
Rome, January 30 (Ign) - It 's time or the bionic man chip sottopelle è soltanto la moda del momento che svela una nuova tecnologia che con le mode ha poco a che fare? Negli stati Uniti - racconta la Rete - tra i giovani è trendy farsi installare piccolissimi microcircuiti che permettono ai sensori posti dietro la porta di casa di riconoscerti e farti entrare.
Niente chiavi dunque ma solo una mano che si avvicina all'uscio. Un giovane canadese addirittura nel suo blog racconta di due impianti e della sua ragazza che ha fatto lo stesso, risparmiandosi la fatica di inserire password sui personal computer.
Oppure, è il caso di una discoteca spagnola: lì i clienti entrano senza passare dalla cassa. A riconoscerli è sempre un chip indossato sotto la pelle. In Britain then, Kevin Warwick, one of the pioneers of this research, is trying to talk nervous system and silicon so as to directly transmit its commands brain in a digital way.
rages in short, the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, hi-tech plant: which allows the automatic recognition of people, but also objects and animals. In summary
a microchip that contains data (such as a universal unique number written in silicon) and an antenna that can receive and transmit radio frequency data. An identity card always visible, indestructible and proof of fraud. And tomorrow, according to the prophets of the cyborg who knows what could be done thanks to technologies like RFID.
questions to John Miragliotta, the engineer in charge of the Centre School of Management of Politecnico di Milano, which is responsible for monitoring the Italian world of RFID, but prefers to answer with great caution:''Why are things affect, but is the stuff of science fiction. While we are engineers. It seems to us a major step forward to be able to leave by the need of identification that distinguishes our daily repetitive.'' The engineer of the Polytechnic
told IGN Adnkronos Group's online magazine, the current objectives of RFID:''Rather than applying the chip under the skin, on which I personally have reservations , I believe that instead of RFID may help in improving the quality of life.''
That is, giving an example:''When I go to town to get the certificates, if I have a chip on a card that I keep in my pocket I no longer need to succeed in the compilation of many modules, they always ask me the same information, such as customer records, and appeal directly to the door to get what I need.''
This adds an engineer of the Polytechnic,''is what I intend to get rid of 'repetition of identification'''. ''This is true in common, but also in many other places: hospital to public transport. In Italy the RFID is developed, and there are, prejudice to the transportation system, Brescia and Milan, to name just two cases, already abbonanamenti that allow the recognition of the owner who travels through chip-based RFID technology.''
Coming back to the chip under the skin, that the same privacy Authority ruled inadmissible, Miragliotta recalls how''in Italy there was a hospital project which provided, in accordance with the Guarantor for the protection of personal data, 'insertion of chips in the tissues for a category of patients, those in a state of unconsciousness.''
But even in this case,''the project has remained on paper.'' Al Beyond the reality of the border are more closely related to cybernetics and bionic man, more film laboratory (current), Miragliotta focuses attention on the uses that are already being made in Italy of RFID. The Centre of the Polytechnic is in fact a continuous monitoring applications. In the manufacturing sector, which allow you to 'tag' the products in production, and agriculture, where instead the chip to identify and tell the story of farm animals.
Or even some ski resorts that give customers cards with chips that allow rise and fall.'' In addition to monitoring the Centre with all the firms analyzed the cases of use of this technology, helping managers to choose strategies. As in the case of''Daphne, pharmaceutical consortium that is evaluating RFID with us to control the loads of drugs in the works.''
A technology that is good, in some cases been used to scheme but not yet up to the United States and Japan, where the techniques of identification with the chip are more widespread and are especially associated with the possibility of micropayments .
''The U.S. and Japan who has the chip can also be done using micro-payments current account of those who have already been correctly identified by the radio frequency technology. But this is reality-add-yet experimental They will need time to be developed and become really useful.''
