In Sweden, a railway company is conducting trials, allowing passengers to use biometric chips as tickets
The advantages of chipping are obvious – it is like a digital collection of personal belongings and information that is literally "always at hand," completely eliminating the possibility of being lost, forgotten, hacked, or stolen. What you used to often see in science fiction books and movies has become reality and is already a common thing for a wide mass of the world's population.

The process of implanting a chip under the recipient's skin is carried out with special equipment similar to a syringe. The procedure is absolutely painless, takes on average a couple of minutes, and requires no preventive preparation. To date, no serious side effects have been found by scientists.
The technology is based on NFC (Near Field Communication) – a technology for contactless data exchange over a limited range, typically 10 centimeters. Examples include Bluetooth of mobile devices, electronic key cards, advertising QR codes, and the like. The areas of application are expanding every day, and in 2017 the technology began to be actively used in the field of railway transportation.
The first to apply an innovative approach to buying railway tickets were in Sweden. Payment for travel is made by reading funds from the subcutaneous chip according to the class of carriage and carrier tariffs. Or information about a previously purchased electronic ticket linked to an individual ID is entered into the device's memory and subsequently easily read by the conductor.
It is truly unknown whether such a system for purchasing railway tickets will be reflected in Ukraine, as the practical application of microchips has not yet been carried out on the territory of the state. The classic ways to buy a train ticket online, or by visiting a railway ticket office, remain the only ways to travel by rail to this day.
Despite the obvious advantages of using this method of storing personal data, documents, tickets, and belongings, public opinion is divided. Some believe that chipping is a step into the future that will significantly simplify everyday life processes, and very soon the technology will be implemented everywhere. Others see it as a government conspiracy for total control of the population's activities. Still others see a religious subtext in it.
Overall, the topic of body chipping is a very broad platform for speculation and conjecture. No matter how you feel about it, it is impossible to deny the obvious technological progress that will eventually affect almost every aspect of life. Given the current trends of digital globalization, it is worth expecting that in the near future everyone who wishes will be able to become the owner of a personal chip.
