The use of RFID Chips in humans Radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips are small radio-frequency electromagnetic fields that can be used in a product‚ animal‚ and humans to track location‚ transfer data‚ and to identify the object. These chips are as small as a grain of rice and can store over 2‚000 bytes of data. Some chips are powered by and read at short ranges via magnetic fields (electromagnetic induction). Certain chips use a local power source like a battery and some others that don’t

According to Kierkegaard‚ it is justifiable to deem the crowd as the authority and its judgment as the absolute ruling in politics or similar disciplines; however‚
