Maybe its just me but implanting a chip in my arm heralds the coming of the zombie apocalypse…

So apparently you stick this thing in your arm and it texts you when its time to take your pills…wouldn’t a cloud based web application have the ability to do the same thing? And what else could be done with this chip… can you imagine what the pirates would be able to do if they were able to hack the dang thing? If RFID gives folks the willies this is an outright horror show…
