Company will implant microchips in its employees

(RNN) – A company in Wisconsin that claims to be on the cutting edge of new technology will be the first in the nation to implant microchips in its employees.

Three Square Marketing, which is a vending machine business, said the chip, which is about as big a grain of rice, will be implanted under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.

The company said on its Facebook page that you are more likely to be tracked on your cellphone than on one of the chips.
