Mr Chips … Amal Graafstra has programmed the locks in his life, such as those on his house, to recognise the radio frequency identification chips implanted in the webbing of his hands.

A small microchip is blurring the line between humans and technology, writes Conrad Walters.

WHEN Amal Graafstra wants to check email, he signs on to his computer with a flick of the wrist. Inside the webbing between his thumb and forefinger, a microchip the size of a grain of rice verifies his identity through an electronic reader and unlocks the PC.

The IT expert can unlock his car or start his motorcycle the same way. But the ”killer app” comes into play when he returns from work, perhaps with groceries in each hand. ”As soon as I stand by the door, I can just nudge my hand against the reader panel, which is right by the doorknob, and it
unlocks,” he says. No fumbling or juggling, no aiming a key in the dark. He simply walks in.

Mr Graafstra is among a small number of hobbyists – estimated to be fewer than 300 worldwide – who have radio frequency identification (RFID) chips implanted in their bodies. Mr Graafstra, who lives in the US state of Washington, is in Australia to discuss his experience as part of a three-day conference at the University of Wollongong next week exploring the relationship between humans and technology.
