Thousands of people in Sweden have inserted microchips -- which can function as contactless credit cards, key cards, and even rail cards -- into their bodies, the Independent (British) website reports today (August 12, 2018).
Once the chip is underneath a person's skin -- usually between the thumb and the index finger -- there is no longer any need to worry about misplacing a card or carrying a heavy wallet.
Over the past two decades, the Swedish government has invested heavily in technology infrastructure -- and it shows. Sweden's economy is now largely based on digital export, digital services, and digital tech innovations.
All in all, the popularity of people being microchipped in Sweden is just one manifestation of an underlying faith in technology that makes Sweden quite unique.
